Head football coach Frank Beamer has the Hokies at 6-2, 4-0 1st in the Atlantic Coast Coastal and nipping at their heels are the Yellow Jackets at 5-3, 3-2 in 2nd place. Georgia Tech defeated the Hokies last year to advance to the ACC Conference Championship game and Coach Beamer and the team will remember that feeling that cost them a chance at a championship. “I do think we’ve got things to work on, but when you play well and you have success, it builds confidence,” Coach Frank Beamer said. “You can’t talk your way into it. You’ve got to build it. The last couple of games, we’ve taken steps where we want to go.” The Yellow Jackets lead the country in rushing from their triple option with 317.4 yards per game but Virginia Tech has one of the best dual threat quarterbacks in the country in Tyrod Taylor who has flown under the radar since the team dropped its first two games.
