The game, scheduled for September 7, 2024, at 4:30 PM ET, will be broadcast on The CW and is set against the backdrop of Blacksburg's iconic venue.

The Hokies are coming off a challenging start to their season with a loss against Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville.

His performance was complemented by Bhayshul Tuten who led the rushing attack with a touchdown and averaged nearly four yards per carry.

Lane Stadium is known for its raucous atmosphere which could provide the Hokies with the home-field advantage they need to secure their first win of the season. With both teams looking to assert themselves early in the campaign, this matchup is more than just a game; it's an opportunity for Virginia Tech to rebound from their initial setback and set a positive tone for the remainder of their season.
