Three Bold Predictions for Virginia Tech vs. Stanford

Eight drives, eight scores.

That’s how SMU opened its 51-28 win over Virginia Tech on Nov. 6 in Dallas, and the 51 points were the most the Hokies have allowed this season.

Now Virginia Tech (6-3, 3-3 ACC) gets Stanford (4-5, 2-4 ACC) at Lane Stadium, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday on the ACC Network. The Cardinal come in off a bye.

Here are three bold predictions for Saturday night.

1. Jeffrey Overton Jr. rushes for 150-plus yards

Jeffrey Overton Jr. has cleared 150 once this season, running 25 times for 209 yards in the 21-14 win at Boston College on Sept. 26. Those 25 carries are also the only time he’s had more than 17 in a game.

He doesn’t need many touches to hurt people.
