BLACKSBURG – Understandably, when Tech fans found out the Hokies’ bowl opponent a week ago today, they immediately thought of passing and lots of points.
Tech’s coaches and players thought that, too.
The Hokies’ defense will face arguably its toughest task of the season when it takes on Oklahoma State’s offense in the Camping World Bowl on Dec. 28. In doing so, the unit will be taking on a quarterback familiar to defensive coordinator Bud Foster – Mason Rudolph, the Cowboys’ 6-foot-5, 230-pound leader.
“We tried to recruit him,” Foster revealed at a news conference Saturday afternoon.
