Virginia Tech is on a slide. Following two consecutive losses to Wake Forest and now top 10 Georgia Tech and a bye week, the Hokies are facing an important matchup against California that is their best chance at a win for the rest of this season. Tech feels having a bye week into this game has proven beneficial for their prep.
"I think it gives us some time to be able to work on some things that that we needed to schematically," defensive coordinator Sam Siefkes said during Tuesday's post-practice media availability. "And then we also started to to do a couple things last week with their A-runs and A-passes are. Kind of their bread and butters, to be able to kind of work those and work through some things that we thought were good and maybe test it out. Now, we're into refining and being able to kind of go through it one more time, which is crucial and I think will help us."
The Hokies will need to step up across the board in this one, but a few players in particular will factor prominently in deciding the outcome of this game.
