Drones, Stewart Lead Virginia Tech Past N.C. State 23-21 in ACC Opener

On Saturday night, NC State defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot will miss the Wolfpack's game against Virginia Tech in Raleigh, N.C., due to a family emergency.
The absence stems from the death of Drue, Eliot's daughter, after a five-year cancer battle; D.J. Eliot, first-year defensive coordinator, is currently away from the Wolfpack program.
Assistant linebackers coach Isaiah Moore will step into the linebackers coaching role, while Charlton Warren assumes play-calling duties during D.J. Eliot's absence.
Through the first four weeks NC State's defense ranks eighth against the run and 14th in scoring, facing pressure as the Wolfpack has trailed at halftime in its last four games.
Virginia Tech Hokies, 2-3 overall and 1-0 in the ACC, have won two games since Brent Pry was fired, while NC State had won the previous two meetings before Saturday.
