The Virginia Tech Hokies defeated the Duke Blue Devils, 48-17, to improve to 5-5 on the season. The Hokies also move to 3-3 in ACC play with the win over Duke.
This was a thorough beatdown that had to feel satisfying for the players, coaches, and fans in Lane Stadium on that September Friday night two years ago when the Blue Devils handed the Hokies their worst home loss in the modern era. The game where Duke coach David Cutcliffe faked a punt late in the fourth quarter up four touchdowns.
While this game doesn’t mean a lot in the grand scheme of things, it meant a lot to those young men on the field Saturday and the coaching staff.
