Virginia Tech football: Hokies win over North Carolina had plenty of heroes

The Virginia Tech Hokies picked up a huge 43-41 win over the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday evening in Lane Stadium. This game featured it all, including being the longest game in ACC history, thanks to six overtimes. The win also moved the Hokies to 5-2 on the season, including a 2-2 mark in league play. A few short weeks ago, no one probably thought this team was capable of winning three consecutive games.

This was a game where the Hokies played three different quarterbacks. Sophomore Hendon Hooker made his third straight start and played well. He completed eight of 12 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown.
