Virginia Tech takeaways from Duke: What went wrong in Hokies’ 7th loss in a row?

DURHAM, N.C. — You couldn’t have asked for a better start for Virginia Tech. It’s a final: Duke beats Virginia Tech 24-7, the Blue Devils’ first home win against the #Hokies since 1981. — Andy Bitter November 12, 2022 Takeaways from the continuation of a nightmare season for Virginia Tech against the Blue Devils : Another offensive shutdown After showing signs of life in spurts the past two games, the Hokies’ offense sputtered most of the afternoon against a solid Duke defense. “We’re not obviously scoring enough points, so we get down there close, we’ve got to try and get a touchdown,” Pry said in a contradictory message from his first-quarter decision. And right now, we haven’t proven to be good enough there either.” It wasn’t a spectacular offensive day for Duke — the ACC’s second-leading rushing offense finished with 165 rushing yards, its second-lowest total in league play — but it was enough to put away a Hokies team that got next to nothing offensively as a counterpunch.
