BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) – Virginia Tech safety Eddie Whitley says the signs that the No. 23 Hokies are rolling have come alongside indications of more work to be done.
The Hokies (5-2, 3-0 ACC) hope to make progress on both fronts Saturday when they play Duke (1-5, 0-3) in the first of five straight Coastal Division games.
A week ago, even while scoring 49 first-half points, the second-most in coach Frank Beamer’s 24 years, the Hokies allowed Wake Forest to score on three long offensive plays.
Whitley says the Hokies’ young defense sometimes has been slow to make adjustments, but the bottom line – that the Hokies have won five straight games – is what’s most important.
They will be seeking their 10th straight win against the Blue Devils.
