Virginia Tech is coming off their best all-around game of the season after
demolishing a good Georgia Tech squad 27-3. The offense led by Sean Glennon
gained a season-high 481 yards against one of the top-ranked defenses in the
country, and the Hokie defense created six turnovers in the resounding Thursday
night win. Florida State one-upped the Hokies by knocking off #2 ranked Boston
College at Chestnut Hill. So, how will this renewal of an old rivalry play out
between these peaking teams?
The
Virginia Tech-Florida State series dates back to the 1950s, with some of the
biggest Hokie wins coming against the Seminoles. However, FSU has owned the
series since 1975, and Bobby Bowden has never lost to a Virginia Tech team. The
Noles have recorded huge wins over the Hokies in the national championship Sugar
Bowl game in 2000 and the first ACC Championship game in 2005. Frank Beamer has
never defeated a Bobby Bowden coached team. So, do the Hokies stand a chance?
