The Hokies have gone cold after their 4-1 start in the ACC, dropping their past three games, and it doesn't get any easier for them as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers. The Hokies have lost their last three primarily due to poor defensive play which has been an issue for the majority of the season and they rank near the bottom of the conference in points allowed per game. Virginia Tech also has to play four of their next five on the road, which we all know has not been kind to them recently.
Pittsburgh (16-4 has had a solid season so far, posting a 5-3 record in the conference, but the Panthers are coming off a 73-60 loss to Clemson.
