Virginia Tech falls to Old Dominion, 20-17, in season opener

The Old Dominion Monarchs defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies 20-17 in the season opener on Friday night in Norfolk.

The Monarchs took advantage of five Virginia Tech turnovers and 15 penalties to pull off the win despite scoring only one offensive touchdown.

The following sequence is when it fell apart for the Hokies.

On a 3rd and long, Virginia Tech quarterback Grant Wells rolled to his left, and tossed a short pass to the running back, only for the ball to bounce off his hands into the waiting arms of an ODU defender.

The Hokies held a 17-13 lead with around two minutes remaining.
