based on the score, but Vols win.
Virginia Tech at No. 17 Tennessee
Line: Tennessee, -11.5
Under/Over: 54.5
This is easily the most intriguing matchup of the week involving a ranked team, as the Hokies look to have the defense to stifle a Tennessee offense that struggled last week against Appalachian State. Virginia Tech is led by CB Greg Stroman, who last week against Liberty caught two more passes than the receivers he defended did and broke up a third. If the Hokies can get to Volunteer QB Joshua Dobbs they’ll likely pull off the upset, as last week Dobbs on seven drop-backs on which he faced pressure took two sacks and his only completion was to a Mountaineer.
Prediction: Tennessee 14, Virginia Tech 10
