The Virginia Tech Hokies (4-4) are back in action on Saturday as they travel north to face the Pittsburgh Panthers (4-4) in the Steel City.
Saturday’s meeting is a battle of two teams on the brink. Both teams began the season with high hopes and big expectations, yet have struggled in recent weeks. Each team has had elite players choosing to opt out as Caleb Farley opted out before the season for the Hokies, while Pitt safety Paris Ford opted out more recently.
Both players are expected to be high picks in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Hokies, losers of two in a row, head to a place they’ve traditionally struggled.
