Beamer Leaves a Legacy of In-State Dominance

Another year, another win over UVA. The Hokies made it 12 straight against their in-state rivals on Saturday. The game was similar to last year’s game, except it was played on the road in Charlottesville.

I’m not so sure that didn’t play into Tech’s hands, though. The Hokies are 1-3 in home ACC games this season, while they are 3-1 on the road. Last year, the Hokies were 1-3 at home and 2-2 on the road. In 2013, they were 2-2 at home and 3-1 on the road. That’s a total ACC record of 4-8 at home and 8-4 on the road over the last three seasons. If you feel better about road games than home games these days, that’s why.
