Labor Day 2018 will likely go down as one the best nights in Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente’s tenure thus far in Blacksburg. The Hokies dominated Florida State on the road and walked away with an impressive 24-3 victory and moved up to No. 12 in the polls.
This game was important for many reasons. There was a lot of doubt about this team. Mainly, it was about the unknown. How would the young defense handle their first real action? Could the Hokies run the football? Would Josh Jackson make enough plays in a hostile environment?
The answer was yes to all three questions.
