With a 1-2 record in conference play, Virginia Tech enters a critical stretch of three winnable home games. The first of these games is tonight against Syracuse. The Orange are coming off a a win against Pittsburgh in the Carrier Dome and have started 2-1 in the ACC with both wins by a comfortable margin. Funnily enough, their one loss was to a team many picked to finish at the bottom of the conference in Boston College – just shows the baffling turn of events happening every game in the ACC.
The Hokies have been hit with a bad case of the injury bug lately.
