However, if that happens, it will not be easy.
Follow score updates and highlights throughout the game here.
With a lead of 26-23, the Scarlet Knights are back in the lead.
Rutgers scored big on the first play of the drive when Athan Kaliakmanis hit Ian Strong on a 55-yard pass to the Hokies’ 12-yard line.
What a comeback by the Hokies. And all the missed opportunities (two missed field goals, a fumble inside the 5, a failed attempt on the fourth attempt and a goal from the 1) are now taking their toll on the Scarlet Knights.
Bhayshul Tuten scores on a two-yard run and then Virginia Tech converts the two-point attempt to tie the game at 23-23.
The Rutgers defense couldn’t stop Kyron Drones and the Hokies offense on this drive.
Bhayshul Tuten scores a 14-yard touchdown run and the Scarlet Knights are now up 23-15 after the Hokies go two and convert.

Hokies running back Bhayshul Tuten scores a 23-yard touchdown run to put Virginia Tech on the scoreboard.
Now the score is 14-7 for the Scarlet Knights.
What a first quarter for the Scarlet Knights.

The Scarlet Knights fooled the quarterback keeper and got the ball to Monangai, who carried it around the left side into the end zone.

Rutgers vs. Virginia Tech – Prediction, Tips, Odds
According to Action Network on September 20, Virginia Tech is the favorite by 3.5 points.
Over/Under: Over 44.5 (-112), Under 44.5 (-108)
Money line: Rutgers +138, Virginia Tech -163
Virginia Tech entered the season with high expectations, but the Hokies have not been able to meet that standard – at least not yet. Rutgers’ offense has performed well, and if they run the ball effectively and the defense can do enough to limit drones, the Scarlet Knights have a good chance of moving to 3-0.
