Virginia Tech Football: Start time for Wake Forest battle announced

Coming off of an impressive win over Pittsburgh at Lane Stadium Saturday night, 38-21, The Virginia Tech football team turns their attention to this week’s upcoming game at Florida State. The Hokies on Sunday opened as a massive underdog against the Seminoles, which was expected as there is a very good chance that FSU will end up in the college football playoff at the end of the season.

It’s going to be the most difficult game on Virginia Tech’s schedule to date and all season long. With a long week ahead of game planning, on Monday, the ACC announced the start time for the Hokies’ next home game on Oct. 14 against Wake Forest.

This weekend, Wake Forest will look to rebound from a 31-16 loss in their ACC opener to Georgia Tech on Sept. 23 when they travel to Clemson, who is coming off a big bounce-back win over Syracuse this past weekend after dropping a home game to Florida State in overtime.
