Thursday night ball games are nothing new for the Virginia Tech Hokies. The Miami Hurricanes came to town tonight, and the Hokies had payback on their minds. The last time the two teams faced off at Lane, Duke Johnson reeled off an amazing 249 yards against the Bud Foster defense. The Hokies’ defense certainly played better in the latest match up, and Miami payed the ultimate price. With the Coastal division up for grabs, the Hokies took control early. After forcing an early Miami three and out, the Hokies went on a march.
Virginia Tech kicker Joey Slye put the Hokies on the board with a 47 yard field goal that would have been good from 57.
