The Hokies So Far in 2018
From 24/7 Sports: "The Hokies are back in this week, replacing previously-unbeaten Duke after beating the Blue Devils on the road in primetime. It was a big-time win for Justin Fuente's crew coming off the shocking loss to Old Dominion, who lost at East Carolina on Saturday. In his first start at quarterback, Virginia Tech's Ryan Willis threw two touchdown passes and eclipsed the 300-yard mark against an above-average Duke secondary."
The Longhorns vs. Sooners Trends and Prediction
The Hokies are 11-4 Against The Spread in their last 15 home games.
Here is the AthlonSports pick for this game: "Notre Dame’s the better team. They have better talent and are rightly confident after the win over then-No. 7 Stanford. Book has changed the dynamic of the Irish offense, and the defense has been consistently disruptive all year. But last November, similar things were being said about Notre Dame as the Irish ventured down to Miami for a prime-time showdown with the Canes. And it was ugly from the start. The environment at Hard Rock Stadium overwhelmed the Irish, and a Miami team that crashed and burned thereafter thumped ND 41-8. Book didn’t start that game, but he played and threw a bad pick-6 at the end of the half. Notre Dame will encounter that same level of excitement at Lane Stadium on Saturday night, and if the Irish learned nothing from last year’s experience in Miami, they will be in big trouble. But I believe that disaster will be of benefit this time around. In a tight battle, Notre Dame comes out on top and remains in the early playoff conversation. Prediction: Notre Dame 28, Virginia Tech 24"
