Was the weather lovely? Nope.
Was the game perfectly played? Nah.
But the Bearcats overcame the weather, turnovers, an injury to Desmond Ridder and a game Virginia Tech squad to storm back to win the Military Bowl, 35-31.
With a three point lead and with a 4th and 1 on the Cincinnati 3, Virginia Tech looked poised to blow the game wide open in the 4th quarter. But the Bearcats forced a fumble after a botched play action pass, won the field position battle, and set themselves up with a chance to regain the lead with 3:36 left in the game.
