After all the hype and buildup, an actual football game was played in Lane Stadium on Monday night. The top ranked Buckeyes entered the game on the heels of a national championship, and the Hokies were waiting. Hosting a number one team is a big deal. Blacksburg put its best foot forward with a concert featuring Brad Paisley, and hosting ESPN Gameday. After all the smoke cleared, the game took shape as no one could have predicted.
The Buckeyes jumped out to a 14-0 lead, and had the entire momentum to start the game out. The Buckeyes looked unstoppable, but the Hokies had plenty of fight in them.
