The Hokies and Commodores hook up in a key early-season battle in Blacksburg on Saturday night.
After a short week, the Virginia Tech football team will host Vanderbilt, looking to pick up a win in what is as must-win as you can get in a Week 2 game. After dropping their season-opener, 24-11, to No. 10 South Carolina, the Hokies need a win badly for some reasons.
The good news is that Virginia Tech is playing the first of seven home games this season and a signature win under Brent Pry against an up-and-coming Commodores' team that is coming off a rout of Charleston Southern in their season-opener last weekend.
