How to watch FSU football vs. Va Tech: TV, weather, and odds

No. 5 FSU football will host to the Virginia Tech Hokies Saturday afternoon as they come off their bye-week. It’s the first of a three-game homestand for the Noles after playing away in three of their first four games. FSU is in the driver’s seat in the ACC, and will likely be the betting favorite in the remainder of its games.

Virginia Tech pummeled the Pittsburgh Panthers for their first ACC win last week. The two teams haven’t played since the Hokies spoiled the beginning of the Willie Taggart era in 2018. FSU leads the all time series 23-13-1.

Here’s a look at the TV/streaming information and game time as No. 5 FSU football hosts Virginia Tech.

How to watch FSU football vs. Virginia Tech:

• Weather: 80 degrees, 39 percent humidity, 0 percent chance of rain at kickoff, Winds 11 mph

This game features the Noles as 24-point betting favorites, with an over/under points total of 53. That total implies a 38-14 FSU win.

I know some folks have concern with Virginia Tech having a mobile quarterback, but he’s not the same type of mobile as LSU’s Jayden Daniel or the Boston College quarterback. He’s much more of a designed run or read-option type, but will fall forward for a couple of yards because he’s 6’2″ and 235 pounds.

He runs hard, as does Virginia Tech’s top running back Bhayshul Tuten. However, Virginia Tech’s passing attack is mostly side to side or rolling the quarterback out of the pocket with crossing patterns.

They may take a couple of vertical shots, but I don’t think they have anyone that can consistently beat FSU’s cornerbacks. The key will be winning on first and second downs and getting off the field on third downs. If the FSU offense plays anywhere near its potential, the backups should be playing in the fourth quarter.
