Virginia Tech vs. NC State Prediction: ACC Teams Looking to Get Back into the Win Column Meet on Thursday Night

Virginia Tech lost to Miami Hurricanes last week. NC State was on a bye last weekend. The Hokies have lost four consecutive games. This is the 51st meeting between the Hokie and Wolfpack. Virginia Tech holds a 28-18-4 edge in the series.

Virginia Tech and NC State meet on Thursday night.

Virginia Tech's offense is tied for 115th in scoring offense (19.1 ppg) and 116th overall (321.9 ypg). Wide receiver Kaleb Smith is a playmaker for the Hokies with 28 catches for 428 yards and two touchdowns in seven games this season. Running backs Keshawn King and Malachi Thomas have rushed for 259 yards each and have a touchdown each. The Hokie defense is allowing 16. 9 pct per game, which is good for second in the ACC and 14th on FBS.

Devin Leary is out for the rest of the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Jack Chambers is starting in Lear's place. Chambers completed 18 of 30 passes for 160 yards against Syracuse. Virginia Tech and NC State meet on Thursday night.

NC State is not the same team without Leary, but its offense and defense should be good enough to contain the struggling Hokies. Virginia Tech has lost four straight games and hasn't been close to winning any of them. The Wolfpack's defense will be the difference here, as they are one of the best in the ACC.
