Virginia Tech's football game with West Virginia on Nov. 23 at Lane Stadium will be televised by ESPN2, with kickoff for the Big East Conference game at noon.
The game will give the Hokies seven regular-season games on TV this season, including their finale Nov. 29 against Virginia in Blacksburg.
A few tickets remain for the West Virginia game. Originally, the matchup of longtime rivals was announced as a sellout, but Tech students did not pick up their full allotment. The remaining tickets are on sale at the Cassell Coliseum box office or by calling 1-800-828-3244.
