The Virginia Tech Hokies fell to 2-6 after Thursday’s heartbreaking 22-21 loss to the N.C. State Wolfpack Thursday. After an ugly first half for both teams, things picked up quickly on Virginia Tech’s first drive of the second half.

Quarterback Grant Wells took the Hokies down the field on the back of two completions to freshman tight end Dae’Quan Wright before calling his own number from four yards out to put the Hokies in front, 7-3.

Virginia Tech’s defense continued to play well, getting the ball back for Wells to find wide receiver Kaleb Smith for an 85-yard touchdown and it was 14-3, Hokies.
