At the beginning of the season, not much was expected from Virginia Tech. Except with a possible firing of head coach Justin Fuente at the season’s end. But a Week-1 upset win over North Carolina has catapulted a mild Hokie resurgence. Now Virginia Tech has an NCAA Football betting opportunity to make hay. Without a dominant ACC team, the Hokies could steal the championship. This week brings a non-conference game against college football’s ultimate historical brand. Notre Dame comes to Blacksburg for a prime-time ACC Network showdown. And a chance for Fuente to make further gains.
