The
ACC season opens for the Hokies with an important game against the other Tech
... Georgia Tech. The revamped Rambling Wreck won a huge game at Boston College
last week, and Virginia Tech's young defense will have a stern test from former
Navy coach Paul Johnson's multi-option offense. How will Bud Foster prepare his
inexperienced unit for the complexities of the spread option? Will the Hokie
offense be able to run on an impressive Georgia Tech front four? Lots of
questions going into this key game ...
The battle of the Techs has been one of the most difficult to predict in the
ACC over the last few years. Both teams have unexpectedly blown out the other,
and each team appears to play well at the other's home field, so this series has
become one of the more interesting new rivalries in the ACC. This year brings
many new questions as Georgia Tech has made dramatic changes in schemes on both
sides of the ball.
