FedExField, the home of the Washington Redskins, will be the site when Virginia Tech hosts Boise State University on Labor Day Monday, September 6, 2010 at 8pm on ESPN. The game was originally announced for Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010.

Information on tickets sales and the kickoff time will be released at a later date.

The game will mark the second time Virginia Tech has hosted a team at FedExField. The Hokies opened their 2004 schedule against Southern California with the Trojans posting a 24-13 victory in front of a capacity crowd.

The Broncos and Hokies have been two of the nation’s most successful collegiate teams over the past 10 years. Boise State was one of just two teams to go undefeated in 2009 (14-0) and possesses the best record in college football from 2000-2009 at 112-17 (86.8%). Virginia Tech is 99-32 (75.6%) over that same period to achieve the sixth-best record in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Last year, Boise State finished ranked No. 4 and Virginia Tech (10-3) concluded with a No. 11 ranking in the Congrove Computer Rankings (CCR Top 120).
