Coach Jimbo Fisher has stressed the importance of getting off to a strong start against the Hokies and sustaining it for 60 minutes.

About Virginia Tech: The Hokies ( 4- 5, 2- 3) return home after falling to Miami 30- 12 last Thursday. Virginia Tech is 4- 0 at home this season. QB Logan Thomas has a healthy group of receivers, but the dual- threat signal caller has had trouble connecting consistently with them.

What towatch

■ Special teams have been problematic for the Hokies this season, but they are hoping a few tweaks this week changes that.
