After a 51-28 blowout loss at SMU last Friday night, the Virginia Tech football team will return home to Lane Stadium for their first game in a month when they welcome Stanford to town. After a road win at Clemson, a bye week, and the loss to the Mustangs, the Hokies are back in Blacksburg.
This is the second matchup between the two ACC schools, as Virginia Tech won in Northern California two years ago, and now the Cardinal make the return trip cross-country. The Hokies are bowl-eligible after their win three weeks ago against Clemson, while the Cardinal are 4-5 and need wins in two of their final three games to become bowl-eligible.

Virginia Tech vs. Stanford prediction
It'll be interesting to see how Virginia Tech comes out eight days after losing to SMU in what was a basic no-show from the opening kickoff. Some keys to victory will be the health of quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, who was banged up against SMU. He appears to be ready to go, but it would be very beneficial if Virginia Tech can get the run game going with sophomore Jeffrey Overton Jr. Tight end Luke Reynolds will be a factor, and some plays being made on the outside by some wide receivers would help.
Virginia Tech's defense will have its hands full with Stanford's offense and QB David Warren, a sixth-year transfer from Michigan, who can sling it around the field. It would be beneficial if the Hokies' defense could get a takeaway or two.
Prediction: Virginia Tech 30, Stanford 16
