The Virginia Tech Hokies travel to the Steel City Saturday for their annual rivalry game with the Pittsburgh Panthers. The defending ACC champions enter Saturday’s game with a 3-2 record but are coming off an embarrassing 26-21 home loss to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Meanwhile, the Hokies own a 2-3 record and are coming off back-to-back blowout losses to West Virginia and North Carolina and desperately need a win. Virginia Tech is 1-1 in ACC play, while Pitt is 0-1. Pitt’s only other loss this season came to the Tennessee Volunteers, quarterback by former Hokie Hendon Hooker.
