GAME SUMMARY
Virginia Tech scored two touchdowns in the
final 35 seconds of the first half to spark an
unforgettable 45-20 victory over Indiana at
Independence Stadium. The Hokies’ Lawrence
Lewis returned a fumble 20 yards for a
touchdown to give Tech a 21-13 lead with less
than 35 seconds to go in the first half. Indiana
got to the Tech 42 on the ensuing possession
and lined up to try a field goal, but the Hokies
blocked it and Antonio Banks returned it 80
yards for a touchdown. That gave the Hokies a
28-13 halftime lead and they never looked back.
Tech quarterback Maurice DeShazo threw two
touchdown passes in the win.

GAME SUMMARY
Virginia Tech scored one of the most stirring
victories in the university’s athletics history
when it came from behind to defeat Texas
28-10 at the Superdome. Tech spotted the
favored Longhorns a 10-0 lead and then race
back behind the play of flanker Bryan Still, who
returned a punt 60 yards for a Tech touchdown
with 2:34 left in the first half, caught a 27-yard
pass from quarterback Jim Druckenmiller at the
Texas 2-yard line to set up a touchdown run by
Marcus Parker that put the Hokies ahead 14-10,
and got behind the Texas defenders to haul in
a 54-yard touchdown pass from Druckenmiller.
That play spelled doom for the Longhorns and
helped earn Still the game’s MVP award.
