The Hokies ended the regular season with a 55-17 win on the road on Nov. 25 against rival Virginia, covering a 2.5-point while taking care of the Over (53) on their own. Virginia Tech finished 4-2 straight up (SU) in the final 6 regular-season games, while covering 6 of the final 8 outings. The Over cashed in 3 in a row to finish, while going 6-2 in the last 8 games of the regular season.
Outside of CB Derrick Canteen, who hit the transfer portal, yet intends to play, Virginia Tech wasn’t affected too much by the portal.
The same can’t be said for Tulane. Coach Willie Fritz left for the Houston Cougars job, and the opt-out and transfer portal news was fast and furious. QB Michael Pratt has opted out, while QB Kai Horton is in the portal. However, the latter has been practicing, and could see snaps along with QB Justin Ibieta.
