This was the year, right? The year where the Virginia Cavaliers finally defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies on the gridiron to gain possession of the Commonwealth Cup for the first time since 2003.
Well, not exactly.
UVA’s hopes of finally defeating its bitter in-state rival will have to wait at least one more year after the Hokies beat the Hoos 34-31 on Black Friday in the first-ever overtime matchup between the two schools.
With the win, the Hokies move to 5-6 on the year and get one more game; a meeting with Marshall this weekend in Lane Stadium in what is a makeup game for both schools.
