Virginia Tech vs South Carolina Prediction
Virginia Tech has crashed and burned in its last two games offensively as the scoring droughts are real. I doubt that changes in a true road game. South Carolina has feasted at home, where it’s 5-0 SU this season and this team defends. Virginia Tech should once again have a hard time stringing together buckets. South Carolina can be sluggish offensively as well, but it should control the pace and drag the Hokies into the mud. It may be ugly, but I’ll side with the Gamecocks and the small number.
