Virginia Tech football: Duke defeats the Hokies 31-28

Is it over yet?

That’s what many Virginia Tech fans are thinking after another Hokies’ loss — this time, Tech fell to the Duke Blue Devils, 31-28, to fall to 5-6 on the season and 3-4 in ACC play.

This game began like so many in the Brent Pry era. The Hokies started on offense, quickly punted, and allowed a big play on defense. Unfortunately for Tech, that big play happened to be an 86-yard touchdown on Duke’s first play from scrimmage.

How would the Hokies respond?

By punting after four offensive plays and allowing another long touchdown pass, this time it was a 77-yard pass from Maalik Murphy to Eli Pancol.
