Virginia Tech hosted the Pittsburgh Panthers on Senior Day at Lane Stadium, eager to put two horrendous losses in the rear view mirror. And the Hokies certainly started the game off like it, scripting together a nice opening drive, as a huge catch-and-run by Chris Cunningham for a gain of 37 yards put the offense in a goal-to-go situation. Jackson kept it on an option play for a four-yard touchdown run, his fourth rushing score on the year.
The two teams exchanged punts, and Pittsburgh got the ball back needing to string together a few first downs.
