The Virginia Tech Hokies (5-4, 3-2) host the Clemson Tigers (6-2, 5-1) on Saturday in a game that doesn’t feel as special as it did even one week ago. When the 2024 schedule was released, Hokie fans had this game circled. It was a measuring stick game for Virginia Tech in a season where the Hokies expected to have a good team.
Unfortunately, things haven’t gone as expected, and while the Hokies are good, they should be much better. Tech’s inability to win close games has wasted a pretty solid roster. A win on Saturday will make the Hokies bowl-eligible.
