The Virginia Tech Hokies already have a road conference win and victory over a Top 20 opponent on their 2018 resume, and the season is one game old.
No. 20 Virginia Tech walked into No. 19 Florida State's Doak Campbell Stadium and spoiled head coach Willie Taggart's debut with a 24-3 victory in Monday's ACC showdown. The Hokies defense dictated play and kept the Seminoles out of the end zone while defending an early lead throughout.
Florida State's Deondre Francois finished 22-of-35 for 233 yards and three interceptions, while counterpart Josh Jackson went 16-of-26 for 207 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions while nursing the advantage.
