Comment on Hokies eager to get back to work when North Carolina visits

Virginia Tech returns from a week off for self-scouting and healing with a pretty clear sense of the challenge ahead. The Hokies (5-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) are a game behind No. 8 Miami and Virginia in the loss column in the ACC’s Coastal Division, and they can’t really afford to stumble before playing both of those rivals, and Georgia Tech, if they are to return to the league championship game. They will get started on that ambitious closing stretch against a North Carolina team that is reeling, having lost four in a row. “We’ve got six conference games, especially Coastal, and we’re going to just try to win every one of them,” Hokies redshirt freshman quarterback Josh Jackson said.
