Say it ain't so... The Virginia Tech Hokies nearly pulled off the upset bid of the favored South Carolina Gamecocks at beautiful Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Instead, the No. 13 team in the nation proved victorious over the hopeful Hokies with the help of some good, old-fashioned Beamer Ball. Yes, Shane Beamer used his family's famous recipe of winning big with special teams ... to win big.
While the final score of 24-11 will not do this game service in the end, Virginia Tech felt like it was one play away from seriously threatening the Gamecocks all afternoon long.
