The heavily favored No. 14 Hokies were set out to claim their supremacy in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a win over Georgia Tech but the Yellow Jackets wanted nothing to do with the talks of how they couldn’t play without their star players.
Virginia Tech won the coin toss and elected to receive the ball first and try to take some time away from the quick up-tempo run game of the Yellow Jackets.
On the opening kickoff the Hokies would fumble that gave the Jackets the ball in great field position. However, like most of the season, the Hokies defense managed to make a big stop when needed.
