The Virginia Tech Hokies dropped to 2-7 on the season Saturday after a 28-27 loss to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. It’s VT’s sixth consecutive loss and second straight game where the Hokies blew a second-half lead and lost by one point.
The Hokies had a prime opportunity in the fourth quarter to end the game. The defense stopped Georgia Tech on fourth down, taking over in Yellow Jackets’ territory. The Hokies drove the ball down inside the 10-yard line when running back Keshawn King fumbled. Georgia Tech immediately took the ball down the field and scored.
In addition to King’s fumble, Virginia Tech quarterback Grant Wells would turn the ball over twice in the fourth quarter, one of which was a fumble with around one minute remaining when the Hokies were driving with a chance to kick a game-winning field goal.
