SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Virginia Tech kicker Joey Slye hit a 20-yard field goal with 4:21 left and that was the game winner, as the Hokies twice rallied from 17-point deficits to knock off Notre Dame 34-31 on a blustery Saturday evening at historic Notre Dame Stadium.
With the win, the Hokies bounced back from last Saturday’s disappointing loss to Georgia Tech and moved to 8-3 overall on the season. Notre Dame fell to 4-7 overall and all but saw their chances at playing in a bowl game disappear.
“I’m awfully grateful when I think back on all the football games I’ve been a part of in my life,” Tech coach Justin Fuente said.
