The Hokies got back to Virginia Tech football on Thursday night, controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball in a 16-3 win at East Carolina. Tech had over 200 yards of total offense at halftime, then spent the fourth quarter running out the clock. Ryan Williams finished with a career high 179 rushing yards, and with their sixth win of the year the Hokies are bowl eligible for the 17th consecutive season. Tech is now 6-3 on the season, and East Carolina dropped to 5-4. more >>
The Hokies travel to Greenville, NC to face the Pirates of East Carolina tonight in a critical game for both teams. Virginia Tech needs to turn around the two-game losing skid and regain the momentum lost in a once promising season, while ECU needs a big win over a major BCS team to increase its national presence. The Hokies, of course, will also have revenge in mind for last year's opening day loss. So what are the keys in this important Thursday night match-up? more >>
E.L. Smiling turned in a solid performance last season as a junior, hauling in 24 receptions for 391 yards and five touchdowns on the year. The 6-3, 185-pound Virginia Tech recruit has about 30 receptions in nine games in 2009, but he is also showing well on the defensive side of the ball. more >>
Having earned double-digit written scholarship offers two months into his junior year, Dominique Terrell has already become one of the most highly recruited juniors in the state of Virginia. Osbourn Park's (Manassas, VA) 5-10, 170-pound star athlete is not getting caught up in the recruiting process, something that impresses his head coach. more >>

Presented by Kent Square Condominiums: Virginia Tech is coming off two straight ACC losses, and now they must journey to Greenville to take on a tough ECU team on a Thursday night. This will be the biggest home game of the season for the Pirates. Their fans are excited, and their players have nothing to lose because it's not a conference game. Meanwhile, the Hokies have question marks on both sides of the football, and they might be suffering from some confidence issues. This is a scary game, if you're a Tech fan. more >>
Well over a year since he initially pledged to Virginia Tech, Cannon School (Concord, N.C.) guard/forward Jarell Eddie is primed to sign a letter of intent with his future school. The 6-7 senior has never wavered in his commitment, but putting an official stamp on his decision will be an exciting moment. more >>
I am an optimist, but it is difficult to find a lot of positives in that loss to UNC. The Hokies were beaten at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. And the Tar Heels did it by beating Tech at their own game - they were more physical, they were tougher, and they were more consistent. The result was a surprising and rare Thursday night home loss to a team that had been winless in the ACC on the season. The Hokies need to get it figured out quickly because a once promising season now sits on the brink. more >>
