The Virginia Tech Hokies are tied with the Liberty Flames, 17-17, at halftime of Saturday’s game at Williams Stadium in Lynchburg.

Virginia Tech’s offense got off to a fast start when tight end Nick Gallo found himself wide open down the right sideline as quarterback Grant Wells hit him for a 35-yard gain. The Hokies would end the drive with a Jalen Holston touchdown run to take a 7-0 lead.

Liberty answered quickly as quarterback Johnathan Bennett led an impressive drive and capped it off with a 15-yard touchdown run to tie things at 7-7.

From there, Tech’s offense went back to work, crossing midfield before another promising drive was stalled.
