What a way to start a season! The week looked bleak, the roster was melting down, and so was the coaching staff. The North Carolina State Wolfpack was coming to town with no earthquake enduing Hokie crowd, no tailgaters or bands... This was going to be a reach down and pull it out affair. So, the late, short handed, and then shorter handed as the game unfolded. The Virginia Tech Hokies managed to not only to win, but to dominate the NC State Wolfpack in the long delayed 2020 season opener. They did it with an exhausted head coach, surrounded by substitute assistants.
