Newly ranked Virginia Tech takes on the East Carolina Pirates as they look to build off their improbable victory against Ohio State.
Virginia Tech junior quarterback Michael Brewer stated that the hard part starts now as teams will be gunning for the Hokies after their huge victory. Brewer said he believes the team is up for the challenge and it starts with the Pirates.
"We knew people were doubting us and that we didn't have necessarily high expectations from people on the outside looking in, but the thing of it is, in that small circle, we didn't really care what people were thinking,"
"We still don't care what people are thinking. We understand that we just beat Ohio State in Columbus and now everybody thinks we're the greatest thing to play football, and that's not the case," Brewer said.
"You've got to stay level-headed through this course. If not a team like East Carolina will come in your backyard and beat you.”
The Pirates gave No. 24 South Carolina a slight scare last week as they lost 33-23. The Pirates have seen some solid competition in the past two weeks and could be up for the challenge of ending the Hokies honeymoon.
Virginia Tech is 13-5 against East Carolina all-time and have won 10 of the last 11 match ups against the Pirates.
