ACC Report: Virginia Tech Looking to Turn Three Points Into Six

It's safe to assume that Virginia Tech's mood has improved the past few weeks. Yet, by no means are the Hokies out of the woods just yet. They have another opportunity on Saturday at No. 23 North Carolina State to prove their 0-2 start was indeed a fluke.

Wolfpack coach Tom O'Brien certainly thinks so.

"They are about five plays away from being a top five team in the country," O'Brien said. "I don't see where anybody should be down. They're by far the best team we've played this year. It's not even close."

If Virginia Tech (2-2) wants to keep it close against the undefeated Wolfpack (4-0), led by quarterback Russell Wilson -- the early favorite for ACC Player of the Year honors -- the Hokies need to be more productive in the red zone.

Virginia Tech managed three field goals and one touchdown inside the red zone in last Saturday's victory over Boston College and gained just 343 yards total.
