It was an absolutely gorgeous day in Blacksburg, as the Virginia Tech Hokies entertained the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Hokies started slow, and the defense put Virginia Tech on the board for the first time in the game. DT, Ricky Walker, scooped up a fumble and rumbled 12 yards to give the Hokies a 7-0 lead. Greg Stroman continued his amazing special teams performance. Stroman took a punt 91 yards for a score, and Beamer Ball was alive and well in Blacksburg.
The offense finally got in the act when Josh Jackson found Travon McMillian out of the backfield for a four yard score.
