The last time the Virginia Tech Hokies lost to the Duke Blue Devils in Durham, NC it was 1981. This year VT rolled into Wallace Wade stadium as 9.5-point underdogs. The Hokies, nursing the program’s first six-game skid since 1987 was hoping to avoid increasing the losing streak to seven. The Blue Devils, under first-year head coach Mike Elko, are looking for their season’s seventh win.
The Hokies won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. Duke QB, Riley Leonard, took the field and came out swinging, going for a deep pass right off the bat and sticking with the air attack all the way to a three-and-out.
