The Virginia Tech Hokies will try to avenge the team that dealt them a loss not only once, but twice a season ago in the Clemson Tigers Saturday. Though the Hokies are road underdogs, they have proven their ability to upset top teams before.
The Hokies went 0-2 against the Clemson Tigers and 11-0 to all other teams (looking at you Sugar Bowl refs) in 2011. Can the Hokies rectify those failures against Clemson and pull the upset on the road? Gobbler Country has more in this Game Guide.
Ben Emelogu, a shooting guard out of Grand Prairie, Tx., committed to the Hokies Saturday night, one day after visiting the campus. Emelogu puts the Hokies class one away from being full up on scholarships for the 2013 season given no attrition.
