see what does was good but we can do bet linebacker Randy Neal said perfect game would be to hold them to about 30 yards and no No 16 Virginia intercepted Maurice DeShazo five times and recovered three of the 14th ranked four fumbles The Cavaliers turned six of those turnovers into 29 points on the way to their highest point total against the Hokies since a 42 0 victory in 1952 expect to get two or three turnovers Three is what you want actually defensive tackle Ryan Kuehl said they just kept coming and coming and coming And you could see it was really wearing them down Joe Crocker led the Cavaliers with two interceptions and Virginia which came in with the top rushing defense allowing just 586 yards per game held the Hokies to 33 Virginia 17 rushes represented its lowest single game total ever are on a different Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Phil Elmassian said of the defense Playing in front of scouts from the iesta Gator Peach Carquest and Independence bowls Virginia

William Mary Virginia Tech (8 3) lost to its intrastate rival for the sixth time in eight games The Hokies still have a 37 34 5 edge in the series think we can turn the ball over eight times against anybody on our schedule and win much less a good team like Virginia Tech coach rank Beamer said was a strange day for us I saw us do things today I even seen in practice not a turnover Virginia turned
