Virginia Tech Edges U.V.A. 23-20! Hokies Win Battle, and the War!

In Charlottesville, VA two old rivals finished up their regular seasons. Virginia Tech came to town with a 5-6 record and looking to extend their nation leading 22 consecutive bowl streak. The University of Virginia was trying to spoil Frank Beamer's farewell, and entered the contest with a 4-7 mark. Mike London, the Virginia coach, has been on the proverbial hot seat seemingly all season. The Hokies were listed as a 3 1/2 point favorite, but with rivalry games anything can happen. Beyond trying to send Beamer off the right way, the Hokies were also looking to retain the Commonwealth Cup another year.
