Justin FuenteHEAD COACH • 3RD SEASON @CoachFuente

• Named Virginia Tech’s head coach on Nov. 29, 2015 after orchestrating one of the more dramatic program resurrections in recent college football history at Memphis.

• The Hokies are in their third season under Fuente in 2018, who has compiled a 23-12 record in Blacksburg, the most wins by any Tech coach in his first two campaigns.

• Georgia Tech’s Paul Johnson is the only other active ACC head coach who can boast as many victories in his first two seasons at a conference school than Fuente (19).

• With 19 wins in his first two seasons at Tech, Fuente owns more victories than every Tech coach has accumulated in his first three seasons with the exception of B.C. Cubbage, who guided the program to 21 victories from 1921-23.

• The Hokies have finished back-to-back seasons in the final AP Poll for the first time since 2010-11. The Hokies will be seeking to conclude three straight seasons in the AP Top 25 for the first time since doing it eight consecutive years under Frank Beamer (2004-11).

• Fuente is one of only six FBS head coaches to register nine or more wins each of the past four seasons.

• Tech concluded the 2017 season with a 9-4 mark, finishing the year No. 24 in the AP Top 25 and No. 25 in the Amway USA Today Coaches Poll.

• Tech extended its streak of consecutive bowl appearances to 25 straight seasons in 2017 under Fuente, the longest active streak recognized by the NCAA. Should Tech earn its 26th straight bowl berth in 2018, that mark that would give VT sole possession of the third-longest streak in NCAA history.

• The Hokies have won 14 consecutive Commonwealth Cup games over Virginia, including both matchups under Fuente.

• Tech has won 19 consecutive games during Fuente’s tenure when leading at halftime.

• VT owns a 7-2 mark under Fuente in games immediately following a loss.

• Fuente’s well-deserved reputation for his work with quarterbacks became apparent once again in 2017 as QB Josh Jackson orchestrated the most prolific season of any freshman in Tech history.

• Jackson’s 2,991 passing yards were a VT freshman record and the most of any FBS freshman in 2017, while his 20 TDs and 135.2 rating were second among FBS

The famed Virginia Tech Lunch Pail has come to symbolize the blue-collar approach of the Hokies’ defense under longtime defensive coordinate Bud Foster.

In 1995, Foster served as co-defensive coordinator with Rod Sharpless, whose mother-in-law found the original Lunch Pail in Mercerville, New Jersey. The pail once belonged to a coal miner and after a record-setting defensive season, the Lunch Pail became an iconic part of Hokies’ lore.

The Pail travels wherever the Hokies go and its care is only entrusted to a defensive leader.

Before the start of every season, a signed mission statement from the defense is placed in The Pail. Then every week, unit goals, team goals and keys to success are placed in The Pail, plus the turf from any road victories.

Since 2007, The Pail has also contained the names of the 32 fallen Hokies taken in the April 16 tragedy.

Darryl Tapp is the only player who has ever earned lifetime possession of an incarnation of The Pail from Foster.

SPEC IAL ISTS

FOOTBALL2018

10

TRE TURNER = MONEY PLAYS• Freshman WR Tre Turner has turned into a key target when the Hokies need a “money play”, a play resulting in a first down or a touchdown.• Of Turner’s 10 career receptions, seven have gone for a first down and two have been touchdowns.• Turner’s first eight catches of his career went for first downs.• The Greensboro, N.C., native has caught 10 passes this season for 209 yards, an average of 20.9 yards per catch.

HOKIES ARE ROAD WARRIORS• The Hokies were the only team in the FBS this season to play its first three conference games on the road.• Tech went 3-0 in those ACC contests, its first 3-0 start in league play since 2013 and its sixth time starting 3-0 since joining the ACC.• The last time Tech started conference play with three road contests was 1993, the season that kicked off Tech’s streak of 25-consecutive bowl berths.• The last time the Hokies went undefeated in conference road games was 2011 when they went 4-0 against ACC foes.

HOKIES RESPOND UNDER FUENTE• Virginia Tech’s 1-0 mentality under head coach Justin Fuente can be seen in how the Hokies respond following losses.• After the loss vs. Boston College (11/3), Tech is now 9-2 under Fuente in games that follow a loss.• The Hokies have lost back-to-back games only twice in two and a half seasons under Fuente.• This week, the Hokies look to avoid the longest losing streak of the Fuente Era as they enter Saturday on a two-game skid.• Tech has lost back-to-back games under Fuente only twice and have never lost three in a row.• The last time Fuente lost three games in a row was back in 2015 when he was the head coach at Memphis.

HAZELTON MAKING AN IMPACT• Expected to make an instant impact at wideout for the Hokies entering the 2018 season, Ball State transfer Damon Hazelton has lived up to the hype through the first half of the season.• Hazelton’s seven TD catches are the most in the ACC and his 79.5 receiving yards per game ranks fifth in the conference.•His seven receiving touchdowns are tied for sixth on Virginia Tech’s single season TD chart.• He has three 100-yard receiving games, tied for the second most in the conference.• Hazelton put up 100-yard receiving games in back-to-back weeks (vs. W&M, at ODU) and scored a touchdown in his first five games as a Hokie.• Against Notre Dame (10/6), Hazelton tied WR Isaiah Ford’s program record of five consecutive games with a receiving TD (list below).• He registered his first 100-yard receiving game as a Hokie vs. William & Mary (9/8) and his first catch in a VT uniform was a 10-yard TD catch vs. Florida State (9/3).• The Baltimore native racked up 51 catches for 505 yards in 11 games for Ball State as a true freshman.• He transferred from Ball State and was recommended to Tech wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins by Texas A&M wide receivers coach Aaron Moorehead, who coached wide receivers for the Hokies from 2013-14.• He sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, redshirted, and made friends with New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. while working out with trainer Jamal Liggin.

GAME-WINNING DRIVE LIFTS VT• The Hokies’ 18 play, 98-yard game-winning touchdown drive at North Carolina (10/13) is tied for the fourth-longest drive in program history and stands as the longest game-winning drive in program history.• North Carolina was ready to put the game away, driving to the Tech one-yard line midway through the fourth quarter. But then Tyree Rodgers forced a fumble from UNC tailback Michael Carter that Jovonn Quillen recovered at the Tech 2 with 6:13 remaining in the game.• The drive took 18 plays, tied for the third most in a TD drive in Tech history, in 5:54 that ended with a one-yard TD grab by TE Dalton Keene.

WILLIS ALREADY SETTING RECORDS• Redshirt junior Ryan Willis is already etching his name in the Virginia Tech record book through his first three starts as a Hokie.• Willis is the first Tech QB since Logan Thomas in 2013 to throw for more than 300 yards in back-to-back games.• He’s also the first Hokie signal caller to throw for 300+ yards in his first two starts.• In his first start since Nov. 11 2016 at Baylor as a Kansas Jayhawk, Willis threw for 332 yards on 17 of 27 passing with a career high three touchdown passes in Virginia Tech’s 31-14 win at No. 22 Duke (9/29).• Willis’ 332 passing yards were the most for a QB making his first start at Virginia Tech.• The win marked Willis’ first career win as a starter and his third career 300-yard passing game.• Willis was only the second Virginia Tech quarterback to make his first two starts with the Hokies against ranked teams; joining Bryan Randall in 2002 vs. No. 14 LSU and No. 16 Marshall.

HOKIES WINNING IN FIELD POSITION• Joey Slye’s big leg was a weapon for Virginia Tech the past four seasons but redshirt freshman Jordan Stout has seamlessly carried on the Hokies’ success in winning the hidden yardage battle.• 43 of the Honaker, Virginia native’s 46 kickoffs have gone for touchbacks, a percentage that leads the FBS.• Between Stout and punter Oscar Bradburn, Tech’s opponents have only 151 return yards this season.

FOSTER WITH RETURNING STARTERS• With only three starters back on defense, it’s been a while since defensive coordinator Bud Foster has had a defensive unit this inexperienced when looking at career starts.• The Hokies’ 55 career returning starts are the fewest since the 2000 squad brought back 42 starts.• Foster’s fewest defensive starters since becoming defensive coordinator in 1996 was three following the National Championship game season in 1999.

HOKIES STOP ANOTHER STREAK• In its history, Virginia Tech has been known to stop some of their ranked opponents’ significant streaks.• This season, the Hokies halted yet another streak:

Significant Streaks Stopped by the HokiesTexas (12/31/95): 28-10 win in the 1995 Sugar Bowl snapped a nine-game win streak.Texas A&M (9/21/02): 13-3 win broke the Aggies’ 29-game non-conference win streak.Miami (11/1/03): 31-7 victory snapped their 39-game regular season win streak.Ohio State (9/6/14): 35-21 upset in broke its 25-game regular season win streak.North Carolina (10/8/16): 34-3 drubbing over the Tar Heels broke their nine-game home win streak.Duke (9/29/18): 31-14 win broke the Blue Devils’ seven-game win streak dating back to 2017.

FARLEY FIGHTS THROUGH ADVERSITY• It’s been a long and tumultuous road for redshirt freshman DB Caleb Farley, who has two interceptions in three starts at cornerback for Virginia tech.• After racking up 78 yards of total offense (61 receiving yards, 17 rushing yards) in the 2017 spring game, Farley tore his ACL on the first day of fall camp that kept him out the remainder of the season.• Off the field, Farley dealt with another major blow personally in January 2018 when his mother succumbed to nearly a decade-long battle with cancer.• Farley, who cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell called a “borrowed wide receiver”, moved from wideout to cornerback in the spring and is listed as a second-string corner and is expected to return punts and kicks.

ECU VS. VT: THE GAME THAT WASN’T• The Hokies’ week three contest vs. East Carolina was the first canceled game for Virginia Tech since its season opener vs. Georgia Tech in 2000.• Tech went on to go 11-1 that season with a victory over Clemson in the 2001 Gator Bowl.• Ironically enough, the Hokies’ week three opponent that season was also East Carolina.

THE BELL COW LEADS THE LPD• With all of the talent on last year’s Lunch Pail Defense that finished fourth in the nation in scoring defense and featured seven players currently on NFL rosters, defensive coordinator Bud Foster still called senior defensive tackle Ricky Walker the “Bell Cow” of his unit.• After playing in 11 games as a true freshman, Walker took a redshirt year and came in 2016 as a redshirt sophomore where he racked up 28 tackles, 6.5 TFLs and four pass breakups.• Last year was a career year for Walker who posted 41 tackles, 12.5 TFLs and 4.5 sacks in 13 starts.• His performance helped him earn All-ACC Honorable Mention honors.• Walker earned his degree in sociology in May and became a father over the summer.• Walker’s brother, Rijo, was a four-year letterwinner at UVA and is currently works on the staff with the College Football Playoff as its team operations coordinator.

2017 PRESEASON HONORS L IST

LANE STADIUM • BLACKSBURG, VA. • NOV. 18, 2017 • ATT: 58,948 BLACKSBURG - Virginia Tech receiver Cam Phillips hauled in the game-winning touchdown and the defense had a goal-line stand in the final seconds to carry the Hokies to a 20-14 victory over Pittsburgh in an ACC game played Saturday afternoon at Lane Stadium. With the win, Tech snapped a two-game losing streak, moving to 8-3 on the season and 4-3 in the ACC. The Hokies also beat the Panthers for the second straight year and for the third time in the past five meetings. Pittsburgh fell to 4-7 overall, 2-5 in the ACC. Phillips broke the school record for career receiving yardage when he hauled in a 23-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Josh Jackson with 6:23 remaining. The Hokies went for two points and converted, but a penalty wiped it out, and the subsequent extra point gave them the 20-14 advantage. On Pittsburgh’s final drive of the game, it converted on fourth-and-4 when quarterback Kenny Pickett hit Jester Weah, who broke a tackle and raced to the Tech 1 before Tech’s Reggie Floyd got him to the ground. That play set up a goal-line stand in which the Pan-thers couldn’t get the ball in the end zone on four attempts. On the final play of the game, Floyd and Khalil Ladler tackled Pittsburgh tailback Darrin Hall for a 3-yard loss, setting off a wild celebration. Phillips paced the Hokies with eight catches for 117 yards and the score. Josh Jack-son completed just 17 of 37 for 218 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. The Hokies finished with 375 yards of offense. Coming on in place of starter Ben DiNucci, Pickett completed 15 of 23 for 242 yards and one interception.

A TRUE HOMEFIELD ADVANTAGENO. 1Best Homefield Advantage in College Football (Rivals.com)

Lane Stadium doesn’t blow people away by the brute strength of a massive stadium, but with knowledgeable fans that always reach a frenzied pitch at the right time, the Hokies make the most of their numbers.

Every good stadium has at least one end designed for deafening noise levels, and the enclosed South End Zone at Lane Stadium fits the bill perfectly. Holding more than 11,000 screaming Virginia Tech fans, the section amplifies noise and renders audibles useless. That’s not to mention the isolation factor. With the nearest major airport nearly 45 minutes away, opponents’ fans are never out in force at Lane Stadium.

NO. 2Scariest Venue for Opposing Teams (ESPN the Magazine)

The two loudest places I’ve ever seen a game are Lane Stadium and the Orange Bowl, but the Hokies’ home crowd is a lot more consistent. The whole place rocks when they crank up “Enter Sandman.” I remember watching a decent BC team go there on a Thursday night and completely melt down.

NO. 2Best Entrances in College Football(Sports Illustrated)

This entrance is one of the purest slices of Americana you will ever experience.

LANE STADIUM - HOME OF THE HOKIES Rising high into the mountainous sky of the New River Valley, Virginia Tech’s Lane Stadium enters its 53rd year of football competition in 2017. The Tech football team has enjoyed over two decades of success, going to 24 straight bowl games and winning 10 or more games eight straight seasons from 2004-11. A big part of that success is the home-field advantage the Hokies enjoy at Lane Stadium/Worsham Field. Sitting at roughly 2,057 feet above sea level, the stadium is the second-highest among all FBS schools in the eastern United States, trailing only Appalachian State (3,300). Completed in 1965, Lane Stadium/Worsham Field has gone through numerous changes, renovations and additions. But through it all, it has always been regarded as one of the finest places to watch – and toughest places for opponents to play – a college football game.

THE HOKIE STONE Before each home football game, Virginia Tech football players and coaching staff enter Lane Stadium through a tunnel. On the stadium-side entrance to Worsham Field, they pass beneath a Hokie Stone, which they touch for good luck and is flanked by these words: “For those who have passed. For those to come ... Reach for Excellence.

ENTER SANDMAN The history behind Virginia Tech’s use of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” started during the 2000 season. That summer, Tech added a new scoreboard to Lane Stadium and the athletics marketing team decided to use the song for an entrance video. The group considered “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses and “Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project before settling on “Enter Sandman.” As the song played on one chilly evening prior to the team’s entrance, members of the Marching Virginians began to jump up and down in rhythm in an effort to stay warm. The Lane Stadium crowd followed suit and the jumping hasn’t stopped since.

DOAK CAMPBELL • TALLAHASSEE, FLA. • SEPT. 3, 2018 • ATT: 75,237Virginia Tech jumped out to a quick lead and never relinquished it, rolling to a 24-3 victory over Florida State at Doak Campbell Stadium on Monday night in an ACC game that marked the season opener for both squads. With the victory, Virginia Tech, ranked No. 20 in the Associated Press poll, snapped a six-game losing streak to the Seminoles in Tallahassee. Florida State came in ranked No. 19. The Hokies played a strong first half, taking a 17-3 lead into the locker room. A Josh Jackson touchdown pass to Damon Hazelton and a field goal by Brian Johnson on the Hokies’ first two possessions gave them a 10-0 lead.

Tech’s special teams made the biggest play of the first half when tight end Chris Cunningham blocked the punt of FSU punter Logan Tyler. Tech’s Eric Kumah caught the deflection and ran it three yards into the end zone for a touchdown, which gave the Hokies the 17-3 cushion. Tech then put the game away late in the fourth quarter when Jackson threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Kuman with 5: 11 remaining. Jackson threw for 207 yards and two touchdowns. Tech’s defense forced five turn-overs, recorded four sacks and held Florida State to just 94 yards rushing.

GAME NOTES• Kumah’s blocked punt return for a score marked the Hokies’ first since Anthony Shegog returned one for a touchdown in Tech’s win at Purdue in 2015. • Cunningham’s blocked punt marked the Hokies’ 11th blocked kick under Justin Fuente and the ninth non-offensive touchdown. • Tech brought 14 true freshmen on the trip and two of them started – left tackle Christian Darrisaw and long snapper Oscar Shadley. • Caleb Farley intercepted two passes and had a sack in his collegiate debut. • Tech’s defense recorded 14 tackles for a loss. Trevon Hill had three tackles for a loss and two sacks.

LANE STADIUM • BLACKSBURG, VA. • SEPT. 8, 2018 • ATT: 65,632Josh Jackson threw a touchdown pass and ran for a touchdown and Steven Peoples rushed for two touchdowns, as No. 12 Virginia Tech blasted in-state foe William & Mary 62-17 in a non-conference game at Lane Stadium on Saturday in a game that marked the Hokies’ home opener. The Hokies (2-0) showed no hangover coming off their huge win over Florida State on Monday night, scoring on 10 straight possessions during one stretch of the game and never punting. They racked up more than 400 yards offense in the first 30 minutes alone, and not to be outdone, Tech’s defense held William & Mary to 100 first-half yards and just three first downs. Peoples scored on runs of 6 and 4 yards and Jackson scored on an 8-yard run. Jackson, who played the entire first half and one series in the second, completed 12 of 16 for 217 yards and threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Damon Hazelton. The Hokies finished with 586 yards of total offense. William & Mary had 266, led by quarterback Shon Mitchell’s 208 yards passing. Hazelton caught four passes for a career-high 107 yards for the Hokies.

GAME NOTES• The Hokies now have beaten William & Mary 12 consecutive times. • The 62 points are tied for the seventh-most points in a single game in program history. • Tech defensive tackle Ricky Walker injured his left foot in the first quarter and did not return to the game. • The Hokies’ 401 yards in the first half were there most in a half since amassing 434 against Wake Forest in 2010. • Nine different players caught a pass, as well as nine players ran the ball, and six different players scored rushing touchdowns.

GAME ONE GAME TWO


BALLARD STADIUM • NORFOLK, VA. • SEPT. 22, 2018 • ATT: 20,532Despite Steven Peoples’ career-best rushing performance, Virginia Tech struggled for much of the afternoon against in-state foe Old Dominion, and the No. 13 Hokies fell 49-35 to the Monarchs in a nonconference game at Ballard Stadium. Peoples rushed for 156 yards on 20 carries and scored on runs of 87 yards and 1 yard. Quarterback Josh Jackson threw two touchdown passes. But the Hokies struggled against ODU’s offense, led by backup quarterback Blake LaRussa. The 5-foot-11 LaRussa completed 30 of 49 for 495 yards and threw touchdown passes of 14, 4, 25 and 29 yards. He also rushed for a touchdown on a day in which ODU’s offense finished with 632 yards. The Hokies led 28-21 with 32 seconds left in the third quarter, but ODU scored on its next two possessions, taking a 35-28 lead – its first lead of the game. Things got worse for Tech, as Jackson went down with a lower leg injury on the first play of the ensuing drive. Backup quarterback Ryan Willis led the Hokies on a 75-yard march that ended with a touchdown pass, tying the game at 35. But the Hokies simply had no answer for ODU. LaRussa polished off a 75-yard drive with 5:11 left and Jeremy Cox’s 40-yard touchdown run sealed the win.

GAME NOTES• Peoples’ rushing performance marked the fourth 100-yard rushing performance by a player in head coach Justin Fuente’s tenure. • Peoples’ 87-yard touchdown run tied for the fourth-longest touchdown run in program history. • Jackson’s 72-yard touchdown pass to Hazelton was the longest completion of his career. • Hazelton has caught a touchdown pass in each off the Hokies’ three games and is averaging 25.7 yards per catch this season. • Cunningham has caught 17 passes in his career – six for touchdowns.

BROOKS FIELD • DURHAM, N.C. • SEPT. 29, 2018 • ATT: 32,177Making his first start as a Hokie, quarterback Ryan Willis threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns to lead Virginia Tech to a 31-14 bounce-back victory over No. 22 Duke in an ACC game played Saturday night at Wallace Wade Stadium. Playing in place of injured starter Josh Jackson, Willis looked like a veteran, throwing the ball accurately and making good decisions, as the Hokies rebounded from a loss to ODU last Saturday. He completed 17 of 27 in the game. Willis, who transferred from Kansas in 2017, made a beautiful throw over Damon Hazelton’s outside shoulder for a 27-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the second quarter to give the Hokies a 10-7 lead, and Tech never trailed again. The Hokies padded their score on their next possession when tight end Dalton Keene hauled in a short pass from Willis and broke several tackles en route to a 67-yard touchdown. Those two scores in a three-minute span enabled the Hokies to take control of the game. Duke cut the lead to 24-14 on a 1-yard run by Deon Jackson with 13:47 left in the game, but Willis and the Hokies answered. A 75-yard drive ended with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Willis to Phil Jackson. Tech finished with 413 yards of offense. The Hokies’ defense held Duke to 327 yards and sacked Duke’s Daniel Jones three times.

GAME NOTES• Tech beat a ranked team for the fourth time in Justin Fuente’s tenure as the head coach (UNC in 2016, West Virginia in 2017, FSU 2018). • The 300-yard passing game marked the third of Willis’ career. He twice went over 300 yards during his two years at Kansas. • Hazelton’s touchdown reception in the second quarter gave him a touchdown reception in all four games this season. • After missing the ODU game with injuries, both left tackle Christian Darrisaw and safety Divine Deablo returned to their starting roles. • Patterson’s 10-yard touchdown catch was the first receiving TD of his career. • Steven Peoples scored on a 6-yard run in the third quarter and now has scored a touchdown in three straight games.

LANE STADIUM • BLACKSBURG, VA. • OCT. 6, 2018 • ATT: 65,632Despite another solid performance from quarterback Ryan Willis and a big game from receiver Damon Hazelton, Virginia Tech struggled to stop Notre Dame’s offense in the second half, falling to the No. 6 Irish 45-23 in a non-conference game played Saturday night at Lane Stadium. The Hokies trailed by just a point at halftime, 17-16, after Willis connected with Ha-zelton for a 3-yard touchdown with 12 seconds left in the first half. But Notre Dame made several big plays in the second half to pull away. The Irish scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions of the second half, including on their first two possessions the third quarter (a 97-yard touchdown run by Dexter Williams and a 40-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ian Book to Miles Boykin). The latter score gave the Irish a 31-16 lead with 4:59 left in the third quarter. Notre Dame all but sealed the game early in the fourth quarter when an 11-play, 64-yard drive ended with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Book to Boykin that gave the Irish a 38-16 lead with 9:08 remaining. Tech cut into that lead when Willis threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Eric Kuman with 5:40 remaining, but Notre Dame answered with a 31-yard touchdown run by Williams to account for the final margin.

GAME NOTES• Hazelton recorded his third 100-yard receiving game of the season and now has caught at least one touchdown pass in all five of the Hokies’ games this season, tying Isaiah Ford’s program record. • Hazelton’s 12 receptions tied a career high. He caught 12 in a game while playing at Ball State before transferring to Tech. • Willis became the first Tech quarterback since Logan Thomas in 2013 to throw for at least 300 yards in back-to-back games. • Willis’ 52 pass attempts were the most by a Tech quarterback since Michael Brewer threw the ball 56 times in a 28-21 loss to East Carolina in 2014.

KENAN STADIUM • CHAPEL HILL, N.C. • OCT. 13, 2018 • ATT: 50,500Virginia Tech quarterback Ryan Willis threw a touchdown pass to Dalton Keene with 19 seconds left to lift the Hokies to a 22-19 victory over North Carolina in an ACC game played Saturday night at Kenan Stadium. North Carolina was ready to put the game away, driving to the Tech 1 midway through the fourth quarter. But the Hokies’ Tyree Rodgers forced a fumble from North Carolina tailback Michael Carter that Jovonn Quillen recovered at the Tech 2 with 6:13 remaining in the game. Willis then led Tech on a 98-yard march, with the Hokies converting on third down on four occasions and on fourth down once. The drive ended with Willis connecting with Keene on a 1-yard touchdown with 19 seconds left. The Hokies went for two points and Willis hit Hazelton, giving the Hokies a 22-19 lead. North Carolina had one final chance, but couldn’t advance the ball past midfield. Willis paced the Tech offense with 309 total yards. He completed 20 of 36 for 221 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed for 88 yards on 15 carries. The Tar Heels finished with 522 yards. Carter led the way, rushing for 165 yards.

GAME NOTES• All three of the Hokies’ conference wins this season have come on the road. • The Hokies have beaten the Tar Heels three straight times and in five of the past six meetings. • Keene now has caught touchdown passes in two of the Hokies’ past three games.

• Sean Savoy’s 13-yard touchdown reception marked his first of the season and the third of his career. His last TD reception came against Georgia Tech last year.

• Savoy’s six receptions are the most for him this season and the second-most for him in his career. He caught nine passes in the Hokies’ win over BC last year. • Willis’ 33-yard touchdown run was the longest rush of his career. • The forced fumble by Emmanuel Belmar in the first quarter was the first of his career. Khalil Ladler notched his second fumble recovery on the season.

GAME S IX


LANE STADIUM • BLACKSBURG, VA. • OCT. 25, 2018 • ATT: 65,632Despite two passing touchdowns and one rushing score from quarterback Ryan Wil-lis, Virginia Tech struggled to slow down Georgia Tech’s rushing attack and fell 49-28 to the Yellow Jackets in an ACC game played Thursday night at Lane Stadium. With the loss, the Hokies dropped to 4-3 overall, 3-1 in the ACC. Georgia Tech moved to 4-4, 2-3. The key play in the game came midway through the second quarter when the Hokies, leading 21-14, forced Georgia Tech to punt. But Virginia Tech punt returner Sean Savoy muffed the punt, and Georgia Tech recovered at the Virginia Tech 12. Two plays later, Jordan Mason scored on a 5-yard run to tie the game at 21 with 6:57 left in the first half. That touchdown was the first of four consecutive touchdowns scored by the Yellow Jackets, as Georgia Tech’s ground game was in full throttle. Behind quarterback To-bias Oliver – starting in place of injured Taquon Marshall – the Yellow Jackets rushed for 465 yards and registered 35 first downs. Oliver finished with 40 carries for 215 yards and three touchdowns. The Hokies finished with 323 yards of offense. Willis completed 15 of 22 for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and he also rushed for 22 yards and a score.

GAME NOTES• Willis now has thrown at least two touchdown passes in each of his four starts. He has 10 touchdown passes and just three interceptions on the season. • Damon Hazleton’s 41-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter marked his team-best sixth touchdown catch of the season. • Hazelton’s 81 yards receiving marked the fifth time in seven games this season that he has recorded at least 50 yards in receiving. • Tre Turner’s 46-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter marked the first touchdown catch of his career. It also marked the longest reception of his career.

• Jalen Holston’s touchdown run in the fourth quarter was the fourth of his career.

GAME SEVEN

LANE STADIUM • BLACKSBURG, VA. • NOV. 3, 2018 • ATT: 65,632Despite leading at halftime, Virginia Tech saw No. 24 Boston College score 21 un-answered points in the second half and pull away for a 31-21 victory over the Hokies in an ACC game played Saturday at Lane Stadium. The Hokies trailed 7-0 after BC tailback AJ Dillon scored on a 3-yard run in the first quarter, but Tech answered, scoring on a 26-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ryan Willis to Damon Hazelton on the ensuing possession to tie the game at 7. Then the Hokies took a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter when Willis connected with Eric Kumah for a 4-yard touchdown.

BC, though, dominated most of the second half, scoring 21 unanswered points to take a 28-14 lead. The Hokies cut into the lead on a Willis touchdown pass to Tre Turner with 4:58 remaining, but the Eagles answered with a field goal with 2:31 remaining to seal the game. Willis led the Hokies’ offense, completing 25 of 42 for 281 yards, with three touch-downs and an interception. He also rushed for 49 yards. BC finished with 396 yards of offense, including 219 on the ground. Dillon led the way with 96 yards on the ground.

GAME NOTES• Willis’ three touchdown passes give him 13 on the season. He’s thrown just four interceptions – none in the past two games. • Hazelton finished with two receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown. Hazelton’s touchdown reception was his seventh of the season, moving him to within four of Isaiah Ford’s single-season school record of 11 set in 2015. • Rico Kearney and Dax Hollifield received the starts because of injuries to linebackers Rayshard Ashby and Dylan Rivers. Both Kearney and Hollifield made their first career starts. • Also, Tyree Rodgers received the start in place of Khalil Ladler, who had to sit out the first half after being called for targeting in the Georgia Tech game. The start marked the second of Rodgers’ career – he also started in the Notre Dame game.
