On Saturday the Virginia Tech Hokies will face their first road challenge when they travel to West Lafayette to face the Purdue Boilermakers. Sun Tzu said, "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of 100 battles." There is much discussion concerning whether or not the Hokies know themselves, and Gobbler Country will certainly spend time exploring such concerns, but for now let us explore our next enemy.
In 2014 the Boilermakers achieved a record of 3-9, and were 1-7 against conference foes. Purdue did face a particularly rough schedule against four ranked teams.
