This week, we're running a series on the teams capable of dethroning two-time defending ACC champion Clemson next season. In our final installment, we're looking at Virginia Tech and two Coastal wild cards and whether they have a legitimate shot at taking down the Tigers.
How Virginia Tech can beat Clemson: Something tells me Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster already is cooking up a game plan for the meeting between these two teams in Lane Stadium on Sept. 30, the end of a brutal September for the defending national champions. The Hokies bring back one of the best secondaries in the ACC, and that should be an advantage against the skilled (and fast) Clemson receivers.
