Coming off a bye week the Virginia Tech Hokies are hosting the North Carolina Tar Heels for homecoming! UNC is looking for revenge against the embarrassing home loss they suffered during last season’s “Hurricane Bowl.” The Heels have been struggling this year, and need to beat VT simply to keep their post-season hopes alive. Meanwhile, another conference loss could spell the end of the Hokies’ drive for back to back ACC Championship appearances.
North Carolina won the coin toss and elected to defer. Josh Jackson and the Hokie offense took to the field first draped in burnt orange jerseys, white pants, and white helmets.
