“Our guys responded like we asked them to do,” Justin Fuente said. “We didn’t play particularly fantastic at times. I’m disappointed with the penalties. But we played well enough to beat a very physical and tough, hard-nosed football team at their place.”
The offense had another slow start. Josh Jackson was picked off early in the first quarter, but to the Hokies advantage, the drive ended with a missed field goal.
Soon after, the young offense found their rhythm when Jackson connected with wide-receiver Sean Savoy for a 53 yard touchdown. The team quickly followed with another touchdown on a 23- yard run by Travon McMillian.
