Virginia Tech was 2-7-1. This was not a great season. Frank Beamer was on the hottest of hot seats and UVA was two seasons from being ranked #1 in the Country by the AP Poll. There was no real feeling that the Hokies were going to pull off some sort of upset. And the truth is they didn’t. What they did do was give hope to a 9 year-old boy and move towards a bowl streak and hall of fame career for their coach.
In 1992 most of the people in Harding Avenue Elementary were wearing UVA colors.
