Part 11 of 2018 CANES opponent series - @VT 11/17

In Part 11 of the 2018 #CANES opponent preview series, I preview the 2018 Virginia Tech Hokies, our opponent on 11/17 up in Blacksburg, VA.



Josh Jackson vs WVU in Landover, MD last year

Ricky Walker - DT Va Tech

From our last visit up there in 2016, when they sacked Brad 8 times. 

VT LB Rayshawn Ashby from H.S. back in 2016

VT LB Dax Hollifield from H.S. in 2017

VT LB Dylan Rivers from H.S. 

VT WR - Eric Kumah

This is our game last year at Hard Rock vs VT

A few things concern me about this game:

  1. Its late in the year (Mid-November), likely to be very cold up there.
  2. VT is going to have revenge on their minds, after last year at Hard Rock
  3. Even with the losses on D, anytime you have Bud Foster there, that D will be always be tough.
  4. Likely for the Coastal Division title, and a date with Clemson for the ACC title and a possible playoff spot. 
This is going to be likely our toughest game down the stretch. I know its up there, but I really believe we will do just enough to win a very tough and physical game and come back to Coral Gables likely still undefeated.
