Virginia Tech's 2014 matchup with Ohio State has been moved up to September 6.  The game in Columbus was originally scheduled to be played on September 20.

Per a media release from Virginia Tech, the date was changed because of a request made by ESPN.

"ESPN approached both schools about the date change and the possibility of either a full national telecast at 3:30 p.m. or a primetime telecast. Both schools supported the change."

The Hokies open next season with William & Mary on August 30.  They will host East Carolina the week following the Ohio State game.
