The Virginia Tech Hokies got back to winning last week with a 42-35 victory at Louisville to move to 4-2 on the season. Next up for the Hokies is No. 25 Liberty.
Yes, you read that correctly. The Liberty Flames, from down the road a bit in Lynchburg, come to Blacksburg on Saturday ranked, facing an unranked Virginia Tech team.
At 6-0, Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze has the Flames off to a record start and looking for a signature victory.
This game came about this summer when the ACC did a ‘10+1’ schedule model for 2020, meaning 10 conference games and one non-conference contest against a state foe.
