GAME PREVIEW
Sep 29, 2020Virginia Tech went from being in the top 20 to dropping completely out of the latest Associated Press rankings. But the Hokies didn't lose last week. In fact, they delivered a resilient performance in their season-opening 45-24 victory over North Carolina State despite having 23 players and four coaches out due to either COVID-19 positive tests or contract tracing. But multiple Big Ten teams and Pac-12 frontrunner Oregon vaulted Virginia Tech (1-0, 1-0 ACC) in the rankings. The Hokies, still ranked No. 23 in the coaches poll since Pac-12 teams have yet to be included in those rankings, will try to climb back up starting Saturday when they face struggling Duke in Durham, N. C. The Blue Devils are 0-3 (all conference losses) for the first time in the 13-year tenure of coach David Cutcliffe. They are allowing 30. 3 points per game and scoring just 13. 0, which is tied for sixth worst among the 72 FBS schools that have played thus far. Duke has committed 14 turnovers, with seven of those coming in last week's 38-20 loss at Virginia. "Yes it's been challenging and it's going to continue to be challenging," Cutcliffe told reporters this week. "When you alter anything, you have to increase the quality of everything you're doing. . . . You may not believe this, but I think we're close. " Duke junior quarterback Chase Brice, a Clemson transfer, threw four interceptions on 16-of-36 passing to go along with 246 yards and two touchdowns. Brice has been sacked nine times and is 59 of 115 (51. 3 percent) for 722 yards. Backup quarterbacks Gunnar Holmberg and Chris Katrenick made appearances in the fourth quarter of last week's game, but Cutcliffe said after the game he didn't think it was time to consider a change at the position. "We work all three of those guys every week," Cutcliffe said. "We certainly will always be looking at that position just like any other position. But I don't need to create anything just yet. " Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente didn't say if new defensive coordinator Justin Hamilton, who is taking over this season for Bud Foster, or linebackers coach Tracy Claeys would be back this week. First-year cornerbacks coach Ryan Smith assumed temporary coordinator duties against N. C. State and the Hokies limited the Wolfpack to 5. 1 yards per play. "I think we're going to have to have that mentality as we go throughout this season that we've got to do our best to get everybody prepared -- and that's coaches and players alike -- to play multiple roles because we could find ourselves very easily in that situation as soon as this week," Fuente said. Fuente is expecting to have redshirt junior quarterback Hendon Hooker (1,555 yards passing and 13 touchdowns last season) available this week. Quarterbacks Braxton Burmeister and Quincy Patterson II combined for 181 passing yards and two touchdown passes and ran for 93 yards. Patterson directed two scoring drives that built a 31-10 halftime lead after Burmeister was forced to leave the game with a cramping hand. Still, Hooker's presence should provide a boost to an offense that totaled 314 rushing yards led by Khalil Herbert (104 yards and a touchdown on six carries). The Hokies amassed 495 yards overall. "Each week is different, and there is no guarantee that we'll have a full complement of people coming into the next week," Fuente said. "It was nice for us to get to do it. It was nice for us to play well. Certainly, I don't want to make too much of it. " --Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Oct 03, 2020DURHAM, N. C. Khalil Herbert ran for 208 yards and two touchdowns, including a 60-yard score with 2:20 left, to help shorthanded Virginia Tech hold off Duke for a 38-31 win on Saturday. The Kansas graduate transfer's huge day included an 83-yard kickoff return that set up a short third-quarter scoring drive for the Hokies (2-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference). They were down 21 players and two full-time coaches due to a combination of coronavirus and injury issues after similar trouble for last weekend's win against North Carolina State. ''I'm not sure I can put into words how difficult what we've been dealing with is,'' Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said. Herbert certainly helped on that front. His huge kickoff return came immediately after a third-quarter Duke touchdown for a 14-10 lead, while his other rushing score was a 23-yard sprint around the left side for a 31-21 lead with 9:58 left. ''His vision is amazing and he's really explosive when he finds that hole,'' said Braxton Burmeister, who scored on two keepers for the Hokies. The Hokies' defense - with the secondary among the hardest-hit positions - also came up big by forcing a three-and-out after Burmeister lost a fumble to give Duke a chance for the lead with 4 1/2 minutes left. Herbert took care of the rest, breaking loose around the left side again for the 60-yarder for a 38-28 lead while cracking the 200-yard mark to essentially seal this one. Deon Jackson scored twice on the ground for the Blue Devils (0-4, 0-4), including when he shot up the middle for a 10-yard score that gave Duke a 14-10 lead with 11:27 left in the third. But the Blue Devils didn't hold that lead long. Herbert answered with his huge kickoff return -- it was originally ruled a touchdown before a replay review confirmed he stepped on the sideline -- that set up a short go-ahead score from Burmeister. Chase Brice threw for 271 yards and a touchdown for Duke, off to its worst start in 14 years. ''We have enough playmakers to win football games,'' Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. ''It's the most unique time in college football, most unique time in my career, so I don't know what you have to do step by step. It's different what we're dealing with. You have to fight and you have to fight together. '' THE TAKEAWAYVirginia Tech: The Hokes have won twice despite some tricky circumstances. They were down 23 players and two full-time coaches for last week's win against N. C. State. That number dipped slightly this time, but their strong ground game did not. The Hokies ran for 314 yards last week then surpassed that total with 324 more against the Blue Devils. ''It definitely gives us some confidence,'' Herbert said, adding: ''It's going to help set up the rest of our offense, so I think that definitely helps us down the road. '' Duke: The Blue Devils entered this one with their worst start since a winless 2006 season before Cutcliffe's arrival, which transformed the program into a regular bowl participant after years of struggle. They were in this one until the final minutes, but couldn't take advantage of their best late opportunity. ''The only thing is to finish,'' safety Michael Carter II said. ''We finish, we win the game. '' FEWER TURNOVERSThe Blue Devils had been turning the ball over at an alarming rate, entering with 14 turnovers for the highest total of any Bowl Subdivision team. This time, the Blue Devils had just one - and not coincidentally had their best scoring output of the season - but it wasn't quite enough to pull this one out. ''We had too many self-inflicted wounds that stopped some drives and momentum that we need to clean up,'' Brice said. ''Not turning the ball over as much gives us a chance to compete and win a game like that. '' A BIG OPPORTUNITYVirginia Tech defensive back Tyler Matheny got a chance for a big role in the shorthanded secondary. The redshirt sophomore had seven tackles and an interception on Brice's tipped pass. UP NEXTVirginia Tech: The Hokies visit No. 12 North Carolina next Saturday. Duke: The Blue Devils visit Syracuse next Saturday. ---More college football: http://apnews. com/Collegefootball and http://www. twitter. com/-Top25---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www. twitter. com/aaronbeardap
