Difficult decisions ahead for Beamer
The rabbit will stay in the hat this year. No miracle runs are coming, no how-did-that-happen winning streaks are going to get this Virginia Tech team an ACC title game berth that it doesn't deserve. -
Hokies’ title hopes dashed
Virginia Tech's most disappointing season in 20 years took another turn for the worse Thursday night in a 30-12 loss to Miami at Sun Life Stadium. -
Virginia Tech football falls to Miami, ending streak of 10-win seasons at eight

ACC title not out of reach for Hokies
For as many early season disappointments as Virginia Tech has had, as many errant throws or missed tackles that have contributed to an uncharacteristically slow start, the Hokies could still take a giant step toward one of their preseason goals tonight. -
Even in down year, Hokies control their destiny
Virginia Tech Coach Frank Beamer doesn’t want to sound like he’s making excuses. But he’s still not sure how he ended up at this point, with his team 4-4 for the first time since 1992 and struggling to extend the program’s 19-year stretch of playing in a bowl. -

Hokies miss road dominance
Virginia Tech used to own road games in the ACC. Not a long time ago, either. Last year, the team won all four. Same with the year before that. The year before that, they went 3-1. -
It’s time for Miami Hurricanes to make a statement
It’s not often that a game between 4-4 teams can be called pivotal or crucial. -

Hokies ready for Miami’s two-man running attack
Miami may not play in front of the raucous crowds it did during its heyday. And the Hurricanes may not strut with the same swagger their teams from the 1980s and early '90s did. -
Miami Hurricanes’ Olsen Pierre might emerge as best option at defensive tackle
When he’s on the field, Olsen Pierre’s teammates and position coach call him Lucifer. -
Virginia Tech Coach Frank Beamer remains discreet about RB situation
Virginia Tech spent much of its bye week trying to sort out a running game that has featured four tailbacks and no consistency. But whatever changes the Hokies plan to implement ahead of Thursday’s pivotal Coastal division showdown at Miami, Coach Frank Beamer isn’t talking specifically about them. -
Virginia Tech or Miami: Who has the edge?
And off to Miami we go. It’s a full day of travel, hopefully one without complications, as we head down to South Florida via Greensboro and Charlotte. South Beach on Halloween night? Should be interesting to say the least. -
Virginia Tech’s Beamer responds to McShay’s criticism
With one statement about Virginia Tech's offense, Todd McShay both struck a chord and touched a nerve, saying what a segment of the Hokies fan base has been for years while irritating Tech coaches and players who think he's misguided. ACC Football News
