Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Virginia Tech–West Virginia football rivalry" in English language version.
The 52nd meeting between the Appalachian region rivals was the first since 2005. It ended up being a classic. The Hokies rushed the field after their defense held the Mountaineers out of the end zone on two last plays from the 15, and their fans screamed along to Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' to celebrate.
It's going to take some time for the two old rivals to meet again — the first game will be played in Morgantown on Sept. 18, 2021 and the return game will be played in Blacksburg, Va., on Sept. 24, 2022 — but both representatives are looking forward to renewing the series, which WVU leads 28–22–1.
The West Virginia and Virginia Tech football teams are no strangers to each other. The Mountaineers and Hokies have met 51 times in their respective histories, though their competition has been on hiatus since 2005. Still, a rivalry that began in 1912 has a number of significant games on its ledger.
