On the eve of the big game, I thought we could look back at the 2016 A.C.C. championship game played between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Clemson Tigers. Clemson was sort of expected to appear in the game, and first year coach, Justin Fuente, was a surprise. Fuente would go on to win A.C.C. coach of the year honors, and Clemson went on to win a national championship. Deshaun Watson played superhuman all year, but Virginia Tech had an answer in Jerod Evans.
If you look back at the game, Virginia Tech was close.
