BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech didn’t play its best Saturday afternoon against Delaware, but the Hokies resorted to a formula that they’ve often used over the years – using terrific defense, getting a big play on special teams and cobbling together just enough on offense.
The end result was a 27-0 win, one that propelled Tech up two spots to No. 16 in The Associated Press poll. It wasn’t a thing of beauty necessarily. It left fans feeling a bit underwhelmed. Yet for head coach Justin Fuente, his group went 1-0 this week, and in the end, that is what matters.
