BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Most of the disappointment from an 0-2 start to the season has been wiped away now that No. 12 Virginia Tech is heading to the ACC championship game.
The Hokies (10-2, 8-0 ACC) won 10 straight after losing to No. 9 Boise State and then FCS member James Madison in a span of five days, and saw their national title hopes dashed.
Coach Frank Beamer says he’s proud of his team for bouncing back from the poor start to become the only team in the country to have won 10 games in each of the past seven seasons.
The Hokies will face Florida State for the ACC championship Saturday in Charlotte. The winner earns a spot in the Orange Bowl as the conference representative under the BCS format.
