GAME SUMMARY
Michigan kicker Brendan Gibbons booted a
game-winning 37-yard field goal in overtime,
as the Wolverines knocked off Virginia Tech
23-20 in a wild Sugar Bowl at the Superdome.
Tech lost the coin flip in overtime and Michigan
decided to play defense first. On third-and-5
from the Michigan 20, Tech quarterback Logan
Thomas appeared to have thrown a touchdown
pass to receiver Danny Coale in the corner of
the end zone. Officials originally ruled the play a
touchdown, but reviewed it, and then reversed
the call, saying Coale didn’t maintain control of
the ball. Tech’s defense only gave up 184 yards
in the game, but turnovers and penalties kept
the Wolverines in the game.

GAME SUMMARY
Virginia Tech kicker Cody Journell drilled a
22-yard field goal in overtime, and Rutgers
kicker Nick Borgese misfired from 42-yards out
on the Scarlets Knights’ possession, enabling
the Hokies to rally for a 13-10 overtime victory
at the Florida Citrus Bowl. Tech entered the
fourth quarter down 10-0, but a 25-yard field
goal from Journell cut the Rutgers lead to 10-3
with 12:14 left in the game. Then, moments
later, cornerback Antone Exum intercepted a
pass and returned it 32 yards to the Rutgers
21. That put the Hokies in perfect field position
with 11:11 remaining and they tied the game
on a 21-yard touchdown pass from quarterback
Logan Thomas to Corey Fuller. Tech’s defense
held Rutgers’ offense without a touchdown and
allowed just 196 yards.

GAME SUMMARY
Virginia Tech saw quarterback Logan Thomas
go down with an injury in the second quarter
and the Hokies never recovered, falling 42-12
to UCLA at Sun Bowl Stadium. Thomas did not
return in the game. The Hokies cut a 14-7 deficit
to 14-10 on a field goal in the third quarter, but
got no closer. UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley
threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes and
ran for two scores in the first half to pace the
Bruins attack.
