Virginia Tech visits Clemson Oct. 24 chasing second straight win

Hokies sit 5-2 after 34-24 win over Georgia Tech

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 3h1 min read

What happened: ESPN's Football Power Index updated win probabilities for the remainder of Virginia Tech's 2026 schedule. The Hokies opened 4-0 for the first time since 2017 before losses to Pitt by 35-33 and to Cal by 25-20. Clemson enters 4-2 and 2-1 in the ACC after a 37-0 shutout of Charleston Southern.

Why it matters: Virginia Tech sits 2-2 in ACC play while Clemson sits 2-1, keeping both in the early conference race. A road result in Clemson would steady Virginia Tech after back-to-back defeats stalled a 4-0 start.

By the numbers: Virginia Tech is 5-2 overall; Clemson is 4-2. Clemson allowed 76 total yards with 13 tackles for loss and held Charleston Southern 0-for-11 on third down while gaining 438 yards, including 231 rushing. Clemson led 34-0 at halftime behind two rushing touchdowns from Chris Johnson Jr. and a 59-yard field goal from Nolan Hauser.

What to watch: Kickoff in Clemson is Oct. 24. Virginia Tech then turns toward remaining ACC dates including SMU, Miami and Virginia.
