Takeaways from Tech's win over UVA to retain Commonwealth Cup

BLACKSBURG – The Virginia Tech football program wrapped up the 2017 regular season in the best of ways by shutting out rival Virginia 10-0 in the Commonwealth Clash held in Charlottesville this year.

The Hokies knocked off their rivals for the 14th straight time, and as the seconds wound down, they started drinking Gatorade out the Commonwealth Cup, the trophy which goes to the victors in the game and which will stay in Blacksburg for another 365 days.

The win left Tech with a 9-3 record, 5-3 in the ACC. They also moved up a couple of spots in The Associated Press top 25 poll to No.
