The Virginia Tech Hokies (5-5, 3-3) are back on the road this week with a trip to Durham, North Carolina, to face the Duke Blue Devils (7-3, 3-3). The Hokies are coming off a much-needed bye week, while the Blue Devils defeated N.C. State one week ago.
In this matchup, Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry faces the man who replaced him as Penn State’s defensive coordinator in 2022: Manny Diaz. The former Miami head coach is in his first year as Duke’s head coach, and the Blue Devils are one of the ACC’s better surprises.
While the Blue Devils have been a positive surprise, Virginia Tech has been a disappointment.
