BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech didn’t play its best Saturday night on the outskirts of Boston, but the Hokies flew home with yet another coveted victory, moving to 5-1 overall, 1-1 in the ACC at the halfway point of the season.
The Hokies committed too many penalties and gave up too many sacks, but their young quarterback and young receivers made plays, and Tech’s defense proved quite stingy, giving up just a field goal and a late touchdown. Led by Joey Slye’s three field goals, Tech continued its stellar play on special teams.
