CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia Tech and Virginia square off this evening at 8 p.m. in resuming the annual Commonwealth Clash that dates back to 1895.
The No. 24 Hokies enter the game with an 8-3 record, 4-3 in the ACC and winners of 13 straight in this rivalry. Virginia comes in at 6-5, 3-4 in league play and a much-improved team from previous groups of late that have tried to break the Hokies’ dominance in the series.
Both teams locked up bowl eligibility several weeks ago, so there is little on the line other than pride – which, of course, is immense among these two fan bases.
