The 2018 Virginia Tech Hokies football team represents
Virginia Tech during the
2018 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Hokies are led by third-year head coach
Justin Fuente and play their home games at
Lane Stadium in
Blacksburg, Virginia as members of the Coastal Division of the
Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Virginia Tech finished the season with a losing record, the first season since the 1991 and 1992 football seasons when Virginia Tech experienced two such seasons back to back.
^The game between Virginia Tech and
East Carolina, originally scheduled for September 15, 2018, was canceled in anticipation of
Hurricane Florence.[20] Seeking bowl eligibility, Tech scheduled Marshall, who also had a game canceled due to Hurricane Florence, which was contingent upon the Hokies defeating rival Virginia, which they did.[21]
Georgia Tech scored 7 touchdowns on the night, which is the most in Lane Stadium since the 1970s. They accomplished this feat 100% on the ground, racking up over 460 yards without completing a single pass. This game also marked the second straight time the backup QB for GT got the start on the road in the GT-VT series. GT is now 4-1 against the Hokies over the last 5 years.
Since the start of the 2016 season, during the week before each game, Head Coach
Justin Fuente selects an outstanding player to wear the #25 jersey in honor of former head coach,
Frank Beamer, who wore #25 as a player for Virginia Tech. The jersey represents hard work, toughness, good sportsmanship and being a exemplary teammate. At first, the distinction was intended strictly for special teams players, but has since been expanded to include all team members.
