In this story:

It is gameday once again for Virginia Tech, as the Hokies head to Old Dominion to try and avoid another upset. Virginia Tech has had a bumpy start to the season and they could use a big win today. Virginia Tech has been slow to start in both games and it cost them in the first one against Vanderbilt. The offense particularly was slow to get going against Marshall last week, but the defense was solid. The Hokies could benefit from a great start because if you let a team hang around too long, they can take advantage of your mistakes.
