Does Virginia Tech Have Confidence?


Virginia Tech have not had a good season, but maybe the last game is all they needed to gain a little confidence. The Hokies faced off against Wofford, and they scored 38 points on the way to the victory. Kyron Drones was under center and he completed 27 of his 32 passes for 307 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Marcellous Hawkins was the top rusher finishing with 13 attempts for 79 yards. Two games ago against Old Dominion, Virginia Tech gave up 45 points to Old Dominion, and that can’t be the defense that shows up in this game, if they want any sort of chance. 

Virginia Tech on the season is averaging 23.75 points while their defense is giving up 29.75 points per game. The offense is ranked 95th in college football while the defense is ranked 111th. Neither stat is good enough to be competitive in the ACC.

NC State lost their first game of the season against Duke in the last game. NC State’s offense scored 33 points, but the defense had it’s issues giving up 45 points. CJ Bailey completed 29 of his 39 passes for 364 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. The turnovers were a major issue, and they are going to need the defense to be a whole lot better. Daylan Smothers had a huge game finishing with 17 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown. It’s going to need to be a balanced attack in this game to find success. 

NC State on the season, is averaging 31.5 points while their defense is giving up 29.25 points per game. The offense is ranked 63rd in college football and it’s clearly the strength of this team. If the offense gets out to a fast start and put the pressure on, this should be an easy victory. 

Why the NC State Wolfpack will win

  • NC State has won each of its last 12 games as a favorite against teams from Virginia.
  • Virginia Tech has lost eight of its last nine games in North Carolina.
  • Virginia Tech has failed to cover the spread in eight of its last nine games.
  • The favorite has covered the spread in each of NC State’s last three games.

Virginia Tech vs NC State Prediction


Yes, Virginia Tech looked good in the last game, but let’s remember who they were playing against. Wofford is known for their basketball program, not the football team, and they are going to come back to reality in this game. NC State on the season is averaging 31.5 points per game and they are going ot have no issue getting out to a fast start here. NC State is going to score at least 35 points, and Virginia Tech is going to struggle to get out of single digits here. It’s going to be blowout city here. Back NC State to cover the spread.
