If you haven't heard, football will be played at a NASCAR venue on Saturday. With at least 150,000 fans expected to see Virginia Tech take on Tennessee (8 p.m. ET, ABC), the Hokies weren't going to pass up an opportunity to flash a new uniform.
Virginia Tech and Nike unveiled their "Hokie Stone" collaboration late last month, a black-gray-black outfit that "pays homage to several elements of Tech’s iconic history" including "Tech’s most distinctive architectural feature" and its Corps of Cadets.

The Hokies are encouraging their fans to wear maroon rather than orange because the Vols will be wearing orange.
