American college football season
The 2020 Virginia Tech Hokies football team represented Virginia Tech during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season . The Hokies were led by fifth-year head coach Justin Fuente and played their home games at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia , competing as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
After completing their regular season with a 5–6 record (5–5 in ACC play), the program announced on December 16 that players had voted to end their season and would not consider a bid to a bowl game .[1] The Hokies had appeared in a bowl game for 27 consecutive seasons, dating back to the 1993 Independence Bowl .[1] This was fourth-longest streak of consecutive bowl game appearances in college football history.[2]
Coaching staff [ edit ] Schedule [ edit ] Virginia Tech had games scheduled against Liberty , Middle Tennessee , North Alabama , and Penn State , which were all canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[4] [5]
The ACC released their schedule on July 29, with specific dates selected at a later date.[4]
