The Virginia Tech Hokies are back in action on Saturday as they welcome the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders to Lane Stadium. The Hokies opened the 2021 season last Friday with a dominating — and thrilling — 17-10 victory over then-No. 10 North Carolina.
While Saturday’s atmosphere in Blacksburg will be difficult to replicate from a week ago, Lane Stadium will once again be packed as the Hokies look to get off to a 2-0 start.
Middle Tennessee also enters this weekend’s game with a 1-0 record. The Blue Raiders thumped Monmouth, 50-15, last week.
This is the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
