WHAT'S AT STAKE
Virginia Tech could make quite a statement after its worst season in two decades (7-6) by becoming the first unranked team to beat a No. 1 since Oregon State's 27-21 victory over Southern California on Sept. 21, 2008. The Crimson Tide is the favorite to win a third straight national title, and a strong performance would indicate that complacency hasn't set in.
Alabama's defense was the nation's stingiest last season but faces a big challenge in 6-foot-6, 254-pound dual-threat quarterback Logan Thomas. Thomas has 20 career rushing touchdowns and needs just 922 yards to pass Tyrod Taylor as the Hokies' top all-time passer.

Virginia Tech: RB Trey Edmunds. The redshirt freshman, son of NFL Pro Bowler Terrell Edmunds, could be the go-to tailback with J.C. Coleman recuperating from two sprained ankles. Coleman took over midway through last season and had 492 yards and 21 catches.
