It's the first appearance for both schools in the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bowl. In their first season under Justin Fuente, the 18th-ranked Hokies (9-4) are coming off a 42-35 loss to Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

The Razorbacks (7-5) have been a model of inconsistency this season. They hung 30 points on Alabama's vaunted defense and routed eventual SEC East champion Florida, but also were outscored by Auburn and LSU by a combined 94-13.
