BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech is celebrating Homecoming this weekend, and the football team is set to take on a struggling North Carolina squad at Lane Stadium.
Tech, ranked No. 14 in both national polls, comes in with a 5-1 record, while the Tar Heels fell to 1-6 following a 20-14 loss to Virginia last Saturday. The Hokies have dominated this series since joining the ACC, having won 10 of the 13 meetings. Seven of the wins have been by a touchdown or more.
Tech knocked off Boston College 23-10 two weeks ago – the Hokies were off last week – but it didn’t play particularly well, committing too many penalties and giving up too many sacks.
