College GameDay Analysts Make Their Picks for Clemson vs. Virginia Tech

ESPN’s College GameDay crew has made their picks for today’s game between No. 23 Clemson (6-2, 5-1 ACC) and Virginia Tech (5-4, 3-2).

The Tigers are a six-point favorite in the game at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va., which is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN.

Here’s who the GameDay analysts, and celebrity guest pickers Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne, picked to win the game:

Desmond Howard: Clemson

“Clemson’s got a six-game winning streak against the Hokies. It goes to seven today. I’m going Clemson.”

Nick Saban: Clemson

“I think Clemson bounces back after a disappointing performance with Louisville last week.”

Pat McAfee: Virginia Tech

“I think that Louisville game scared me a little bit. At the beginning of the season, I loved these Hokies. Give me Virginia Tech with a big win at home over Clemson.”

Lee Corso: Clemson

Kirk Herbstreit: Virginia Tech

“There’s been a run for Virginia Tech where they run onto the field — their ‘Enter Sandman,’ it’s like the highlight of the game for the local folks. But not today. I’m with Pat. Virginia Tech I think upsets Clemson.”

Livvy and Paul: Clemson

BLACKSBURG, Va. (WDBJ) – First responders never stop training, and this week almost 500 from across Virginia are honing their skills in Blacksburg.

The Virginia Association of First Responders now includes EMTs, firefighters, police officers and many others who answer the call in an emergency.

Thursday, a farm accident and a collision involving a car and school bus were just two of the scenarios they encountered.

“It’s a week-long opportunity, not only for technical stuff like this, but for medical classes,” said Covington Volunteer Rescue Squad member Greg Burton. “People call 911 every day for something. And we’re just here to help ease the problem a little bit.”

The annual conference also includes a Rescue Camp for young people with an interest in emergency services.

43 campers are taking part in a variety of activities, including a session on scuba diving Thursday afternoon.
