The Virginia Tech Hokies lost a tough one at home 30-20 to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. But the Hokies are still 5-2 in ACC play. One more victory, and they’ll clinch their first ACC Coastal division title since 2011.

The Hokies came out flat and it showed. They turned the ball over four times in the game, including one on the first kickoff return of the game. Quarterback Jerod Evans threw two interceptions and was sacked five times in the game.

It was another uncharacteristic game for the Hokies and another bad loss. The Hokies have 11 turnovers in their four losses this season. They had zero turnovers in their last three games.

They still lead in the Coastal division at 5-2 but they’ll need to win their last conference game in a few weeks. Preparation will be key and a non-conference game may just be what Virginia Tech needs.

This Week: Notre Dame

The Hokies face the 4-6 Fighting Irish this week but it’s not a game they can take too lightly. They are a good offensive team with a defense still trying to figure things out. They beat Army 44-6 last week.
