The Virginia Tech Hokies invaded Heinz Field on Thursday night to take on the Pittsburgh Panthers. The match up would give the victor the inside edge for the Coastal division title. Both teams entered the contest with identical 5-2 records, and the game had a late season feel from the opening kick. The Hokies received the toss and quickly marched down the field, but had to settle for a 31 yard Joey Slye field goal to take an early 3-0 lead. On the kickoff, Javonn Quillen scooped up a Quadree Henderson fumble, and the Hokies were in business. The Pitt defense was up to the task, and the Hokies could only muster a 21 yard Joey Slye boot, 6-0 Hokies.
