There isn’t much to say on this one. Virginia’s long drought in Blacksburg continued as the Hokies dominated en route to a 33-15 win. Virginia Tech rattled off scoring plays of 76 and 60 yards in the first half, effectively putting the game out of reach. With the loss, the Commonwealth Cup sadly has to go back to Blacksburg.
Virginia’s injuries and opt outs on defense were highlighted as VT amassed 464 yards on offense, including 162 yards rushing from RB Khalil Herbert. The Hokies converted 9-of-16 third downs in the game and held the ball for over 35 minutes.
