LANDOVER, Md. – Neither the Virginia Tech offense nor the West Virginia offense did much of anything in the first half of their renewed rivalry game Sunday night. But once their new starting quarterbacks got into a rhythm, it was hard to take your eyes off both of them.
And this game.
Will Grier and Josh Jackson played a game of one-ups-man-ship until the very end, throwing and running their way to big plays. Ultimately, it was Jackson who had the upper hand and Virginia Tech won 31-24 in a renewed rivalry game turned instant classic.
Jackson finished with 235 yards passing and 106 yards rushing and two total touchdowns; Grier finished with 371 yards passing and three touchdowns.
