The Virginia Tech Hokies shook off some early cobwebs to pull out another three-point victory. It is Virginia Tech’s third three-point victory of the season.

The Hokies had a rough first half, fumbling on their first possession and going down 17-0 before getting things on track. The defense allowed just seven points in the second half to power the effort.

The Virginia Tech offense had 25 first downs and was 6-for-14 on third down conversions in the game. They had 419 total yards of offense, shaking off two turnovers to pull out the victory. Kicker Joey Slye kicked the game winning 20-yard field goal with 4:16 left in the game.

Quarterback Jerod Evans had 267 passing yards and two passing touchdowns. He also had 67 rushing yards and a touchdown in the game. The Hokies’ trio of Bucky Hodges, Cam Phillips, and Isaiah Ford had a combined 15 catches for 157 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.

This Week: Virginia

The Hokies host the Virginia Cavaliers with the Coastal Division title on the line. A win gives the Hokies their first Coastal title since 2011 and a trip to the ACC Championship game to face Clemson.
