Belk Bowl, Arkansas vs Virginia Tech live stream: Watch online
Here’s how to watch Thursday’s 2016 Belk Bowl between the Arkansas Razorbacks and Virginia Tech Hokies online.
The Virginia Tech Hokies will try to start the Justin Fuente era off with a 10-win season with a victory in the 2016 Belk Bowl against the Arkansas Razorbacks on Thursday night at Bank of America Stadium.
Fuente is already looking like a terrific hire after leading the Hokies to a 9-4 regular season record, the team’s best mark since 2011. Virginia Tech won the ACC Coastal with a mark of 6-2 in conference play and played playoff-bound Clemson tough in a 42-35 loss in the title game.
JUCO transfer quarterback Jerod Evans was a huge part of Virginia Tech’s turnaround with 3,309 passing yards, 759 rushing yards and 37 total touchdowns. The Hokies had a solid defense once again under coordinator Bud Foster, with brothers Tremaine and Terrell Edmunds leading the way.

Arkansas won seven games in the regular season for the second straight year, as fourth year head coach Brett Bielema hasn’t been able to generate much momentum. The Razorbacks have some good wins on their resume, but will also need to bounce back from an ugly loss to Missouri to close out the year.
Quarterback Austin Allen has done an admirable job replacing his brother Brandon under center and threw for 3,152 yards with 23 touchdowns. Bielema used the run game heavily once again, as Rawleigh Williams III and Devwah Whaley combined for over 1,900 yards on 338 carries.
