11-point deficits and scored 22 unanswered
points in the fourth quarter to knock off

24-13 in the fourth quarter, but a Cedric Humes
touchdown run and a two-point conversion
cut the deficit to 24-21. Then following a
Louisville turnover, Tech’s Marcus Vick threw
a touchdown pass to Jeff King that enabled
the Hokies to take the lead. James Anderson’s
interception return for a score sealed the win
for Tech. Humes rushed for 113 yards and the
touchdown in the win.

GAME SUMMARY
Virginia Tech jumped out to a 21-3 halftime lead,
but the Hokies’ second-half turnovers proved
costly, as Georgia scored 28 unanswered points
in the final 30 minutes to knock off Tech 31-24
at the Georgia Dome. The Hokies jumped out to
the 18-point halftime lead thanks to two 1-yard
touchdown runs by tailback Branden Ore and
a 53-yard pass from receiver Eddie Royal to
tight end Sam Wheeler on a trick play. But Tech
turned the ball over four times in the second half
and three of those turnovers led to 18 Georgia
points. The Hokies finished with just 189 yards
of offense.

GAME SUMMARY
The Virginia Tech Hokies trimmed a 17-point
first-half deficit to three points in the second half,
but couldn’t quite get over the hump, falling to
the Kansas Jayhawks 24-21 at Dolphin Stadium.
Tech turned the ball over three times and those
three turnovers led to 17 Kansas points. The
Hokies also had a field goal blocked, allowed a
first down on a fake punt that ultimately led to
a score, and gave up five sacks. Justin Harper
paced Tech with a touchdown reception and a
punt return for a touchdown in the loss.
