This weekend, Virginia Tech faces its first true road test in Greenville, NC. Here are 5 key Hokies to keep an eye during this matchup.
Andrew Motuapuaka
Two years ago, the Hokies lost to Duke in a 4OT instant classic at Lane. In that game, then-Duke QB Thomas Sirk went off for 379 total yards, and Motuapuaka was largely to blame.
As the mike linebacker, Motu basically runs the defense in Bud Foster’s system. In that game, Duke dominated him. Undersized players laid him out on blocks, and he continually got caught in “no-man’s land.
