Virginia Tech 31 - Miami 7
|
A huge crowd of Virginia Tech's great fans turned out for "the walk"
prior to the Hokies' big game against No. 2 Miami, and the surreal
scene was truly a special one.
|
The players were surrounded by thousands of excited fans as they
headed from the buses, past the stadium and into the locker room.
|
Coach Frank Beamer and Governer Mark Warner seemed overwhelmed by the
passion and emotion of the frenzied fans.
|
The Corps of Cadets "Skipper" fired a salute following the national
anthem from the playing field in sold-out Lane Stadium.
|
Everyone in the stadium felt something special in the air during "the
bounce" prior to the Hokies taking the field.
|
The Hokies got the 101st block during the Frank beamer era, from Eric
Green, to stop a Hurricane scoring threat in the first quarter.
|
At the first quarter break, with the score 0-0, Robert Brown, a great
former Hokie and Green Bay packer defensive lineman, was honored.
|
Fittingly, it was a defensive player who shortly thereafter got the
Hokies on the board as DeAngelo hall forced a fumble, snagged it in
the air, and returned it 28 yards for a touchdown.
|
The fans in Lane Stadium were having fun as it was BeamerBall on the
field for the Hokies.
