Around SBN: Watch Out For Cowboys UDFA Tim Benford

Who is Virginia Tech's Toughest ACC Road Opponent?

We complete our look at the Hokies' toughest opponents with a look at their conference road games. We've already looked at their non-conference and ACC home slates.

While the previous two votes were fairly tough, this one's a no-brainer. Tech's ACC road scheduled includes trips to Wake Forest, Duke, Georgia Tech and Virginia. One of these things is not like the other.

Star-divide

Here's Tech's away ACC games:

Oct. 15 at Wake Forest

Relax: The Deacs couldn't stop anyone on defense last year and had trouble adjusting to a spread-option attack.

Worry: Josh Harris ran all over the Hokies last year and they appear to finally have a quarterback. Maybe.

Oct. 29 at Duke

Relax: It's Duke.

Worry: Don't look now, but the Blue Devils have a lot of talent at the skill positions.

Nov. 10 at Georgia Tech

Relax: GT lost its two best players on offense, Joshua Nesbitt and Anthony Allen. They're replacements were unimpressive in the spring.

Worry: Thursday night game in Atlanta and the place will be just as turn't up for this game as it was two years ago.

Nov. 26 at Virginia

Relax: UVa doesn't know who its QB is going to be and doesn't have any kind of offensive line to speak of.

Worry: Who knows what kind of improvement the Hoos could make over the course of the season and it's a rivalry game.

Your turn: Who's our toughest ACC road opponent?

I’m going with GT. GT & VT have become a nice rivalry, and was a good pairing when the conference expanded. I always make my way to watch this Thursday night clash each season. The only thing that could hamper this rematch is if GT hasn’t been able to get off the ground.
