BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -Virginia Tech hopes to keep several streaks going Saturday when it hosts Virginia in what would be a meaningless game if the Cavaliers weren’t the opponent.
Since they are, the No. 13 Hokies (9-2, 7-0 ACC) figure to be ready to get their seventh consecutive victory in the series, and their seventh 10-win season in a row.
But while Virginia Tech will move on to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game next week, and then a bowl game for the 18th consecutive season, the Cavaliers will not.
Defensive tackle Nick Jenkins says Virginia is treating the game like its bowl game. The Cavaliers (4-7, 1-6) have lost 10 of the last 11 meetings in the series.
Virginia has not won at Lane Stadium since 1998, when George Welsh was their coach.
