• That drive featured a trio of key third or fourth-down conversions by Willis. A 12-yard scramble on fourth-and-10 help set up a seven-yard run on third-and-two. Willis also connected on a 19-yard pass to RB Steven Peoples on third-and-14.

• Willis set a career high with 88 rushing yards at UNC (10/13), including a 33-yard TD run.

• Willis started at Duke (9/29) after relieving an injured QB Josh Jackson in the second half at ODU (9/22). He responded by throwing for 332 yards and registered a career-high three TDs to earn ACC QB of the Week honors against the Blue Devils

HOKIES RETURN TO THURSDAY NIGHT VS. GT • Virginia Tech returns to ESPN’s Thursday Night Football when the Hokies host Georgia Tech (10/25).

• Since the inception of ESPN’s Thursday Night Football package in 1991, the Hokies are 23-9 (.719) in such contests. Those 32 Thursday night appearances are tied with Georgia Tech for the most among FBS programs.

• The Hokies own a perfect 6-0 mark in Thursday night games against Georgia Tech with the most recent such contest resulting in a 23-21 at Bobby Dodd Stadium (11/12/15) in Frank Beamer’s final season as VT coach.

• Georgia Tech is the one ACC Coastal Division squad that current VT coach Justin Fuente has faced previously and has yet to beat. GT won a 30-20 decision at Lane Stadium (11/12/16) and hit a 80-yard TD pass for the go-ahead score in a 28-22 victory last season in Atlanta (11/11/17).

• Both squads enjoyed an open date this past Saturday before Thursday night’s game. The Hokies are coming off a dramatic 22-19 win at UNC (10/13).

#SACKSBURG = HOME OF THE #LPD • Since Bud Foster took over the reins of Virginia Tech’s vaunted Lunch Pail Defense in 1996, no FBS team owns more sacks (830.0) or has forced more INTs (378). • The Hokies have won 23 straight contests when holding foes to 21 points or fewer dating back to 2015. • Since Fuente’s arrival in 2016, Tech owns 12 ACC wins, holding 11 of those 12 foes to 21 points or fewer. The lone outlier was a 39-36 win at Pitt (10/27/16). • Georgia Tech is 7-34 under head coach Paul Johnson when being held to 21 points or fewer, including an 0-5 mark against Virginia Tech. • Georgia Tech is 1-15 in its last 16 games when being held to 21 points or fewer, including nine straight losses. • VT is 38-5 (.884) at Lane Stadium in ACC play when holding foes to 21 or fewer, including seven straight wins.

KEY STATS VS. THE YELLOW JACKETS • Eliminating big plays in the passing game against GT’s Triple Option offense will be critical for the Hokies. The Yellow Jackets completed just two passes in last year’s contest, but they resulted in TDs of 60 and 80 yards.

• Forcing turnovers is also a must against GT. In the last two meetings, VT has only one takeaway - a 24-yard INT return TD by CB Greg Stroman in last year’s contest.

• GT has won three of its last four meetings with the Hokies and owns a +3 turnover margin (9 takes/6 gives) in those contests. VT was -3 (1 take/4 gives) in GT’s last visit to Lane Stadium in 2016.

Gaines is tied for fourth in the league with a pair of forced fumbles.• DB Kahlil Ladler and Gaines are tied for second in the ACC with two fumble recoveries, while DBs Caleb Farley & Reggie Floyd both have two INTs.

MORE SCORING STATS ON HOKIES, JACKETS • VT has allowed 53 points (13.3 ppg) in its four wins and hasn’t permitted more than 20 points in any of those contests. • Virginia Tech owns a 86+ scoring advantage in 2018 (139 scored/53 allowed) in those four victories. • GT has outscored its opponents by a 143-77 margin over its last three games. • Virginia Tech is 20-0 under Fuente when leading at halftime, including a 3-0 mark in 2018.• The Hokies own a +52 point scoring advantage in the first half (109 scored/57) allowed. • GT owns a slim 110-104 scoring advantage in the first half this season. • The second quarter has been Tech’s most prolific scoring period, outscoring foes by a 62-27 margin (+35 advantage).

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 23-10 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.

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.

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.

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 9-game home win streak.Duke (9/29/18): 31-14 win broke the Blue Devils’ seven-game win streak dating back to 2017.

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 win at North Carolina (10/13), Tech is now 9-1 under Fuente in games that follow a loss.• The Hokies have lost back-to-back games only once in two and a half seasons under Fuente which was a 28-10 loss at No. 9 Miami (11/4/17) and a 28-22 defeat at Georgia Tech (11/11/17).

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.

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 in the early going.• His 85.8 receiving yards per game rank third in the ACC.• He has three 100-yard receiving games, tied for the most in the ACC, and has four in his career.

• 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.

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.• 35 of the Honaker, Virginia native’s 37 kickoffs have gone for touchbacks, a percentage that leads the FBS.• Between Stout and punter Oscar Bradburn, Tech’s opponents have only 96 return yards this season and their average drive starts at the 26-yard line, compared to the 31-yard line for the Hokies.

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. The last time Tech brought back four starters on defense was also 2000.• Foster’s fewest defensive starters since becoming defensive coordinator in 1996 was three following the National Championship game season in 1999.

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.

LPD LEADS TECH IN WIN AT FSU• Virginia Tech’s dominating 24-3 victory at Florida State was the Hokies’ first win in Tallahassee since Nov. 16, 1974.• The Hokies improved to 100-1 under Bud Foster at defensive coordinator when they hold opponents to 10 points or fewer.• It was only the fifth time since 1996 under Foster and the third time on the road that the Hokies held a ranked opponent to three points or less.• It marked the first time in program history that Virginia Tech opened with ranked opponents in back-to-back seasons and won both games after dropping its previous 10 matchups.• The Hokies held the Seminoles to their lowest point total at home since 2008 when FSU also put up three points against Wake Forest.• Justin Fuente moved to 4-0 all-time against Willie Taggart as a head coach.

KUMAH BREAKS OUT VS. FSU• Junior WR Eric Kumah registered his first career multi-touchdown game in unique fashion at Florida State by becoming only the third Hokie since 1987 to have a return and receiving score in the same game.• Kumah’s TD off of a blocked punt by r-junior TE Chris Cunningham was Virginia Tech’s 149th non-offensive touchdown scored since Frank Beamer’s first season as head coach.• His game-sealing TD catch in the 4th quarter went for 49 yards, a career-long reception.

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.

O-LINE TECH’S VETERAN UNIT• The most experienced position group for the Hokies is the offensive line, who returned 51 career starts between Kyle Chung (16), Yosuah Nijman (22) and Braxton Pfaff (13).• Chung and Pfaff started and played in all 13 games last season while Nijman posted eight starts before an injury ended his season.• For his senior season, Nijman (6’7”, 314) will play at right tackle for the first time in his career.• Chung, who was granted a sixth year of eligibility during the offseason, moved from right tackle to left guard.• It won’t be Chung’s first go-around working inside as he started two games at center vs. Tennessee in the Battle at Bristol and the following game vs. Boston College in 2016.• Chung is the son of Eugene Chung, an All-American for the Hokies in 1991 and a first-round draft pick of the New England Patriots. He’s currently an assistant coach with the Philadelphia Eagles.

2017 PRESEASON HONORS L IST

BOBBY DODD STADIUM • ATLANTA , GA . • NOV. 11 , 2017 • AT T: 47 ,909 ATLANTA - Georgia Tech’s TaQuon Marshall threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Jeune with 6:30 remaining to lift the Yellow Jackets to a 28-22 victory over No. 17 Virginia Tech in an ACC game played at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday. With the loss, the Hokies fell to 7-3 overall, 3-3 in the ACC. Georgia Tech moved to 5-4, 4-3 and beat the Hokies for the third time in the past four meetings. Virginia Tech had taken a 22-21 lead when Greg Stroman intercepted Marshall’s past and returned it 24 yards for a touchdown with 7:27 remaining. The Hokies went for two points, but failed to convert, leaving them with a one-point lead. The Yellow Jackets then grabbed the 28-22 lead on the Marshall touchdown pass, and the Hokies had one last possession. Virginia Tech drove to the Georgia Tech 32, but pass attempts on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 fell incomplete, and Georgia Tech ran out the clock. Virginia Tech trailed for much of the game, but twice climbed back into it – once on a 14-yard touchdown run by Sean Savoy in the second quarter and an 8-yard touchdown run by Jalen Holston in the third quarter. The Hokies finished with a season-low 258 yards. Virginia Tech quarterback Josh Jack-son completed 14 of 26 for 153 yards, and Eric Kumah caught six passes for 82 yards. Holston and Savoy led the Hokies in rushing with 32 yards each. KirVonte Benson paced Georgia Tech with 86 yards rushing. The Yellow Jackets fin-ished with 261 yards on the ground.

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.

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.

GAME F IVE

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.
