One of the nation’s longest active bowl streak is all but officially over.
Virginia Tech made sure of that Thursday night in a 23-21 win over Georgia Tech, as the Hokies moved closer to bowl-eligibility themselves in their first game since coach Frank Beamer announced his impending retirement Nov. 1. Interestingly enough, this was the the third straight year that the road team won this game.
Here’s how things went down at Bobby Dodd Stadium:
What the win means for Virginia Tech: The Hokies won their second straight game to get to .500 at 5-5 (3-3 in ACC play), and they need to win just one of their next two games to ensure that their legendary coach’s career will end in a bowl game.
