The first week of May was exam time and Commencement and maybe minds were somewhere else starting on Wednesday, May 8th. The Hokies boarded the busses and headed to Lynchburg to play Liberty in a penultimate non-conference game. The Flames are not having their best season and had dropped their first game against Tech in Blacksburg, 13-3. They were sub-.500 starting off the game and had a barely over .500 record at home for the season. That set of realities should have lined up a nice series sweep for the Hokies with a good final non-conference road win to sweeten their NCAA hopes a bit.
