FINAL SCORE: VT - 28 NCSU - 13
This game was a watershed moment.More than any game the Hokies have faced in the last four years, this one mattered the most.The idea of a loss, at home, during a nationally televised game is not something the program would have weathered well.Beyond that, if VT could not defeat the Wolfpack what hope would they have against the likes of Miami or Duke or Boston College? This, more than any in the last three years, was a must win game for the Hokies.After a short weather delay the Hokies and the Wolfpack took the field.
