Virginia Tech Football : The Hokies DO Have History With The Cowboys

Related Topics: Camping World Bowl

As the Camping World Bowl inches closer, I thought it would be interesting to look at the history between the two clubs. Believe it or not, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Oklahoma State Cowboys have played twice before. In 1972, Virginia Tech defeated the Cowboys in a squeaker, 34-32. Before you get all cocky, the Pokes beat the Hokies in 1971, 24-16. The Camping World Bowl will be the rubber match in a battle of top 25 teams. Historically, both programs match up pretty evenly.

The Cowboys do claim a national title, but it is pretty cloudy.
