BLACKSBURG – The Virginia Tech football program made the Homecoming weekend a happy one, as the Hokies blasted North Carolina 59-7 on Saturday afternoon, scoring their most points in an ACC game and registering their largest margin of victory in an ACC game.
With the win, the Hokies moved to 6-1 on the season and moved up a spot in The Associated Press poll to No. 13. Also, the Hokies became bowl eligible for the 25th straight year. Of course, Tech has much larger aspirations, but took the next step and went 1-0 this past week – thus following its season-long mantra.
