As of now, the Hokies have bounced back from a rough start to the season, and now sit at 5-3 heading into this matchup. The Hokies face Syracuse this weekend, a
nd the all time record as of right now, sits at 11-9 with the Syracuse Orange leading the matchup but this week, the Hokies are a -4 point favorites to win this game.
Let's look at what head coach Brent Pry had to say this week about Syracuse's quarterback Kyle McCord: "They've got an superbly talented quarterback-- a guy that leads the league in passing with a 64% completion rate.""You could throw that thing up and got a heck of a chance to go get it." However, the Hokies have announced they will wear their white jerseys, white pants, and maroon helmets for Saturday's game. The Hokies have worn this combo a few times this season, but it is a clean look, to say the least. This past weekend, the Hokies wore their maroon uniforms for the "Maroon Effect" against Georgia Tech where they won 21-6.
This has to be the biggest storyline heading into Saturday’s ACC matchup. Syracuse throws the ball at the second highest rate in the country, and through six games, McCord only threw six interceptions. Considering the identity of his offense, that’s not a bad clip to be throwing interceptions at. Last week changed that narrative though.
