Blacksburg, VA (Sports Network) - The 11th-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies welcome the resurgent Florida State Seminoles to Blacksburg this weekend, for a key ACC battle.
The Hokies control their own destiny in the Coastal Division. At 4-1 in - conference, Frank Beamer's squad is just a half game behind division- leading Virginia (5-1), with a game against the Cavaliers looming large to close out the regular season. The Hokies bounced back from a tough loss to Boston College two weeks ago, by beating up on Georgia Tech last week, 27-3.
The Seminoles are just 3-3 in league play, but are coming off one of the best performances in recent years, upsetting then second-ranked Boston College in Chestnut Hill last weekend, 27-17. The win was the second in a row, following two straight losses to Wake Forest and Miami-Florida.
The Seminoles hold a 21-10-1 edge in the all-time series with the Hokies and have won 12 straight meetings, including a 27-22 decision in the inaugural ACC Championship Game in 2005, the last time these two teams met on the gridiron. Tech's last win over FSU came in 1975. FSU coach Bobby Bowden is a perfect 16-0 lifetime against Virginia Tech.
