The Rivalry Series: WVU football’s history against Virginia Tech

Across 131 seasons on the gridiron, the West Virginia University football team has developed several rivalries that have helped forge the identity of Mountaineer football. Over the next several weeks, we’ll break down some of the biggest series in West Virginia football history.

We continue the series with a rivalry that has represented a divide in the Blue Ridge Mountains older than the state of West Virginia itself. The Mountaineers have faced Virginia Tech 54 times and hold a record of 30-23-1. WVU and VT played every season from 1973 until 2005, and have played for the Black Diamond Trophy since 1997.
