BLACKSBURG – On a miserable evening in which a pouring second-half rain made for an ugly game, Virginia Tech embraced the elements and came away with a workmanlike 24-3 victory over Duke to conclude its October slate.
The victory put the Hokies in perfect position for their rugged November stretch run that starts Saturday with a Coastal Division clash against unbeaten Miami in South Florida. Tech continued its dominance over Duke – 12 victories in 14 meetings since joining the ACC – and moved to 7-1 overall, 3-1 in the ACC. The Hokies also remained at No.
