For the seventh straight time, the only time that the Commonwealth Cup will spend in Charlottesville is a few hours before heading back to Blacksburg on the Virginia Tech Hokies’ team bus. VT beat the Virginia Cavaliers, 10-0, for their 14th straight win in this in-state competition that can scarcely be called a rivalry any longer.
The first quarter wasn’t a particularly entertaining one, with the first six drives ending in punts and neither team crossing their opponent’s 40-yard line. As the second quarter began, the Hokies (9-3) were driving the field and poised to score, until Josh Jackson was stopped short on third down.
