BLACKSBURG – Field goals instead of touchdowns. A penalty instead of a trick play for a score. A turnover turned touchdown for the opponent.

A run of 48 ½ yards from the 49-yard line.

When Virginia Tech looks back over Saturday night’s prime-time beat down by No. 6 Notre Dame, what it will painfully see is a first half chock full of missed opportunities.
