Eyes on Heels, Hokies
Posted Sep 17, 2008
If the Virginia Tech-at-North Carolina football game on Saturday boils down to strength vs. strength, it will be the Hokies' secondary against the Tar Heels' wide receivers, specifically junior Hakeem Nicks and senior Brandon Tate. Those confrontations also will be an area of interest to the five NFL teams -- Packers, Vikings, Giants, Jets and Raiders -- that have requested passes to scout players in the 3:30 p.m. game at Kenan Stadium.
