The Virginia Tech-Wake Forest game on Saturday, October 16th will kickoff at

beating Presbyterian 53-13, the Demon Deacons defeated Duke 54-48. After that,
they lost to Stanford 68-24, Florida State 31-0 and Georgia Tech 24-20. Their
defense has been a work in progress, though they did improve against the Yellow
