Hokies dropped a 30-27 heartbreaker in head coach Frank Beamer's final home game
BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game, but the Hokies couldn’t quite overcome No. 12 North Carolina, falling 30-27 in overtime to the Tar Heels at Lane Stadium on Saturday in what marked the final home game of Tech head coach Frank Beamer’s coaching career.
With the loss, the Hokies fell to 5-6 overall, 3-4 in the ACC, and they now need to beat rival Virginia next Saturday to become bowl eligible for the 23rd consecutive season.
