BLACKSBURG – The Virginia Tech football program took care of East Carolina on Saturday afternoon in rather merciless fashion, romping past the Pirates 57-17 on a steamy day in Greenville, North Carolina.
Tech moved to 3-0 on the season, and the Hokies also moved up to No. 13 in both major polls – their highest ranking since 2012.

The Pirates fell to 0-3. For the second straight year, the Hokies hung 50 on ECU, which speaks to Tech’s continued ascension and left most wondering what has happened to ECU’s once-proud program.
