History

Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Virginia Tech) first played football on October 21, 1892 against St. Albans Lutheran Boys School (Radford, VA). The game took place on a plowed off wheat field that was "about as level as a side of Brush Mountain".Pieper, Lindsay (2006-09-02). From wheat to Worsham: The history of Lane. Collegiate Times. Retrieved on 2007-07-28. The Hokies won their first game 14-10, but were defeated 10-0 eight days later on a return trip to Radford.Virginia Tech Football Past Schedules - 1892. hokiesports.com.
