OUR PREDICTION: Clemson has won four straight victories over Virginia Tech so the Hokies will be amped tonight to end that streak. The Hokies have long had great defensive and speical teams play under former head coach Frank Beamer but they’ve been component offensively as well. Josh Jackson has given this team a shot to the air, completing 65.2 percent of his passes for 1,127 yards with 11 touchdowns and one interception. Jackson faces a stiff test tonight against Clemson’s outstanding defense, but I like this game to be much closer than the Clemson-Louisville game a couple of weeks ago. The Hokies will hang defensively.
