Three Biggest Storylines for Virginia Tech vs. Stanford

Virginia Tech hosts Stanford at 7:30 p.m. ET on ACC Network in Blacksburg, marking the programs’ third meeting and the first time Stanford visits Virginia Tech. Stanford enters at 4-5, 2-4 ACC, while the Hokies are 6-3, 3-3, coming off a game where SMU scored 51 points in Dallas eight days earlier. The storylines center on Brent Pry’s defense after allowing 51 and 350 yards through the air, Stanford’s uneven road scoring (10.3 points per game on the road), and bowl hopes that could hinge on results in Blacksburg, Cal on Nov. 21, and a Nov. 28 home game vs. SMU.
