"If you're a college football team enduring a listless start to the season, there's a decent chance by now that your fans have attempted to generate a spark by going shirtless. First it was Oklahoma State's Section 321 army in Week 7. Soon after, Wisconsin students unleashed their own shirtless section in a blowout loss to Ohio State, with UCLA also getting in on the action."
"While UNC and Wake Forest also hopped on the latest trend, this week's spotlight goes to Virginia Tech for a simple reason: the game's final result. Hokies fans set the tone on Friday night, with Lane Stadium's bare-chested contingent proving to be a possible good luck charm -- Virginia Tech earned a late-night win against California. The Tar Heels came close to earning their first ACC win, taking Virginia to overtime, but couldn't get the job done."
Fans at multiple colleges have formed shirtless sections to try to ignite teams enduring poor starts, with Oklahoma State, Wisconsin, UCLA, UNC, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech among participants. Virginia Tech's bare-chested contingent at Lane Stadium coincided with a late-night win over California, contributing to the decision to spotlight the Hokies. North Texas quarterback Drew Mestemaker completed 37 of 49 passes for four touchdowns and an astounding 608 yards, celebrating with a homage to Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point photo. Weekly game-day features continue to highlight unusual moments and standout individual performances away from the playing surface.
