BLACKSBURG, Va. - BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Bud Foster has been an assistant coach at Virginia Tech for 33 seasons, and before the Hokies' game against No. 19 Wake Forest, the athletic department honored the retiring defensive coordinator for his accomplishments and years of service. Foster's defense throttled Wake Forest's high-scoring attack, and Hendon Hooker led an offense that got into the act, too, to help the Hokies beat the Demon Deacons 36-17 on Saturday. Wake Forest quarterback Jamie Newman completed just 16 of 35 passes for 238 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. "They probably covered us the best a team has covered us all year," Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - Virginia Tech's preparation for Notre Dame is underway and the Hokies know what it's going to take to get a win in South Bend. But one thing that has stood out is the inconsistency Virginia Tech has had coming off a bye- and the challenge increases by going on the road. "[We] had really intense practices and really intense crossover work." "Not only because it's Notre Dame, but because we had a week to start feeling better, get some good on good work, it's just the next game." Notre Dame is in a vulnerable spot after its 45-14 loss to Michigan on Saturday, but in college football, it's anyone's game at any time.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - After the historic loss to Duke on Friday, head coach Justin Fuente stressed the need for the Virginia Tech offense to find its identity. For offensive guard Lecitus Smith, that means playing mean and rugged, two traits that could hopefully help the Hokies win over Miami this Saturday. "We want to be known as hard smart tough. There's a lot of football left, a lot of football. "We're trying to set a good pro.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The Virginia Tech Hokies are coming off a bye week and ready to take on Duke Friday night in Lane Stadium. "We need to come out of the half strong, we need to finish strong, playing the whole 60 minutes makes a difference." With 2-1 Duke looming on the horizon, the Hokies know a win against Dave Cutcliffe's squad is never guaranteed. Fuente agreed, "Obviously, we have a huge challenge this week, Duke coming in here Friday night. We've always known coach Cutcliffe is a fantastic coach, but they've got a tremendous amount of talent over there as well."

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The Virginia Tech Hokies got in the win column on Saturday after their 31-17 win over Old Dominion. The Paladins are consistently ranked in the FCS classification and they're running an offense Virginia Tech is familiar with. With a new coach at Georgia Tech this season, so long to stopping the Yellow Jackets triple option... and hello to Furmans'. We've had some experience with [it] at Georgia Tech." But Tech's defense has looked pretty stout and with years of facing Georgia Tech, they should have no problem stopping the run.

BLACKSBURG, Va.- - The Virginia Tech Hokies are gearing up for Week 2 with Old Dominion coming to town. Last year, the Monarchs won on their turf 49-35 and now they're coming off a Week 1 win against Norfolk State. But it couldn't be more true for the Hokies, who lost to Old Dominion last year due to those little things. "It's always going to be mistakes and mess ups and things like that," running back Keshawn King said. But like any in-state game, the best Virginia team wants to come out on top.

Anthony Brown threw two touchdown passes and ran for another to lead the Eagles to a 35-28 victory over Virginia Tech Saturday in the schools' opener. But winning your opener against a highly-quality football team, I think you get better from that," BC coach Steve Addazio said. "It's tough for our guys to battle back, fight, scratch and claw all the way through and come up short," Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said. THE TAKEAWAYVirginia Tech: The Hokies' defense was 106th in the nation against the run last season, allowing 210 yards per game on the ground. Boston College: Brown, a red-shirt junior, looked like the QB the Eagles have been hoping for, at times.

As they prepare for Boston College, the Hokies know they'll face one of the top running backs in the nation in AJ Dillon. "They can get the quarterback involved in the run game as well, which poses a whole other set of issues. We certainly know that that's one of the keys to the game- trying to find a way to slow down the rushing attack," said Hokies head coach Justin Fuente. That was a weakness for Tech a season ago, when they allowed an average of 210 rushing yards per game -- 219 alone against the Eagles. We weren't too good in the run game last year and what better opponent to start off with than Boston College to see where we're at," said linebacker Jarrod Hewitt.

After the 2019 season, longtime defensive coordinator Bud Foster will retire from coaching.

Blacksburg (WSLS-10 Sports)- Virginia Tech opens spring practice this week knowing they will be replacing four starters on the defensive side of the ball. In addition, they have four potential starters that are missing the spring due to injuries. Coach Bud Foster remains one of the nation's finest architects of quality defensive units, and he's been in this situation before. Hokies linebacker Andrew Motuapuaka says this spring should be easier since it will be second time with coach Fuente. The Hokies spring game is scheduled for April 22nd at Lane Stadium.
