On Saturday, Virginia Tech will host the Furman Paladins. Like most FCS schools, Furman scheduled this matchup because the university will receive a decent size check for coming to Blacksburg. However, the Paladin football team has only one thing on their minds. Upset!
It's not often an FCS school (formerly division I-AA) defeats a program from the FBS (formerly division I), but it does happen. The winning percentage for teams in the FBS against FCS opponents is around .800. Don't let that big number fool you though. Occasionally a David can beat a Goliath. Hokie fans unfortunately know all too well how that feels.
