The Virginia Tech Hokies face the Tennessee Volunteers this weekend in the Battle at Bristol. Tennessee struggled in Week 1 before defeating Appalachian State in overtime.

It’s finally here. This Saturday, the Battle at Bristol finally takes place as the Tennessee Volunteers battle the Virginia Tech Hokies.

The Hokies opened the 2016 season last week with a 36-13 thrashing of Liberty. Sure, Tech got off to a slow start offensively, but the Hokies pulled away late in the second quarter and never looked back.
