Virginia Tech will play Arkansas in the Belk Bowl on December, 29. Kickoff is set for 5:30 PM EST. The Hokies last faced an SEC in the 2009 Peach Bowl — a 37 to 14 win over Tennessee. Tech has never played Arkansas in football before.

"Our fans have been fabulous all season, and I know Hokie Nation will be anxious to join us in Charlotte for the Belk Bowl," Justin Fuente said in a release regarding Tech's 24th consecutive bowl appearance. "As I told the team after last night's game, our seniors deserve to end their careers out on a positive note. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to this senior class and our staff will do everything possible to prepare our squad to face a quality foe like Arkansas.

"Coach Beamer and his teams built Virginia Tech into the nation's most consistent postseason participant and we appreciate the standard we're expected to uphold. For myself, these seniors and this entire squad, we felt an obligation to extend Coach Beamer's bowl streak. Now, our objective is to prepare and play to the best of our ability to conclude this season with a victory. I can't thank Hokie Nation enough for their unwavering support and our team looks forward to seeing the stands packed with Maroon and Orange in Charlotte."
