Despite second half struggles, the Hokies upset bid against Louisville was alive late into the fourth quarter, until a costly fourth-down stop.
In what appeared to be a lost season, interim head coach Philip Montgomery has breathed life back into the Virginia Tech football program since dismissing Brent Pry. However, on Saturday in Week 10, with the Hokies hosting No. 16 Louisville at Lane Stadium, his offense looked lifeless in the second half.
Virginia Tech managed just 99 total yards after the intermission as the Cardinals erased a 16-7 halftime deficit with 21 unanswered points.
