West Virginia leads Virginia Tech 13-7 at halftime.
The West Virginia Mountaineers lead the Virginia Tech Hokies, 13-7, at halftime on Thursday Night Football from Lane Stadium.
WVU received the opening kickoff, and the Hokies forced a three-and-out when safety Nasir Peoples stopped the Mountaineers for a loss on third down. Virginia Tech went to work on offense but found nothing and punted the ball back to West Virginia. Peter Moore boomed a 53-yard punt to the WVU two-yard line. The Hokies had a chance to get off the field, but cornerback Armani Chatman missed a tackle to keep the Mountaineers' drive alive.
Tech's defense did end up getting off the field, but not before the Mountaineers kicked a field goal to take a 3-0 lead.
