BLACKSBURG – For the second time this season, Virginia Tech’s defense kept an opponent out of the end zone in the waning moments to preserve a victory, as the Hokies held on to beat Pittsburgh 20-14 on Saturday at Lane Stadium.
The game was similar to the Hokies’ season-opening win over West Virginia, which drove to the Tech 15 with nine seconds left, but couldn’t punch it in against Tech’s defense. Saturday’s stand was more impressive, though, as Tech faced four Pittsburgh attempts from the 1 – and yet kept the Panthers out of the end zone.
