There isn’t too much doubt about the day, yesterday. There was a good deal of reflection and a bit of celebration of life as Liberty donned their all-Navy Blues, and Tech took the field in a rare showing of the All-Orange uniform in tribute to the three fine young men from UVA’s team who lost their lives in a senseless act of violence. The picture of Coach Mines carrying the UVA flag on to the field was a touching tribute to his alma mater and classy for the AD’s department to allow.
There was Somber Tribute, but Hard Football Played
Cavalier stickers on the backs of helmets and pregame tributes aside, the Flames and the Hokies were meeting in Lynchburg to play football, and neither team seemed to be too interested in giving up the action or the pursuit of the ‘W’ ultimately the Hokies made it on top by one point, but it was really 8 since they tried the two-point conversion and lost by an arguable replay, and then deferred with enough time on the clock to score another touchdown to close the game.
