The battle for the Commonwealth Cup takes place in Blacksburg in front of fans on Saturday for the first time since 2018. A lot is riding on this game for the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Virginia Cavaliers.
Both schools enter Saturday’s game with a 5-6 record, needing one win to become bowl-eligible. So, the winner of this game goes bowling, while the loser goes home and likely prepares for transfer portal madness. The truth is, every team will deal with portal madness — win or lose.
It’s incredible that the Hokies are even in this position.
