We must have watched....

different games. I agree with could have not should have. I am not sure they were clearly the better team. They scored 17 points in the last 17 minutes and were the beneficiary of shall we say some "fortuitous calls". Yes they had Reggie Bush and other very good talent but, I would say they more escaped than "won going away".

VT wins against FBS champions
CapitolHillHokie • 02/25/26 08:56 PM ET
Should have beaten USC 2004...**
banishedtothelounge • 02/26/26 08:51 AM ET
Could have, not should have. USC clearly the better team and won going away**
VT72 • 02/26/26 05:26 PM ET
Going away? White and Bush had 100 yards combined.**

They were really green when VT played them. I think VT was on a fairly

I disagree 100 percent on that one.

If that phantom offensive PI had not been called early on in the first half
VTHokie2000 • 02/26/26 06:21 PM ET
I was there, would've put us up 17-7 in 3rd quarter**
furnulator • 02/26/26 06:57 PM ET
Only if VT scores a TD, which wasn't a guarantee.
reestuart • 02/27/26 09:03 AM ET
You are right a TD wasn't guaranteed on that drive. However, prior to the
VTHokie2000 • 02/27/26 10:36 AM ET
IIRC, VT was good in the RZ that season, but not good at scoring TDs.
reestuart • 02/27/26 10:43 AM ET
True, but I am not sure a TD on that drive would have come in the RZ. If
VTHokie2000 • 02/27/26 11:05 AM ET
The interference was in the RZ.**
reestuart • 02/27/26 11:12 AM ET
You are right. Since the ball would have been marked somewhere around
VTHokie2000 • 02/27/26 11:25 AM ET
I was there too because I sat next to the USC band. I just forget where
VTHokie2000 • 02/27/26 08:09 AM ET
I was there, and at the Auburn game. Now, that's one that got away from us**
VT72 • 02/26/26 05:52 PM ET
Good for you......
2hhoop3 • 02/26/26 05:57 PM ET
Haha! That would have been a pretty crappy experience if was the only one
VT72 • 02/26/26 06:37 PM ET
bull****. I was there. USC was not going away with anything
furnulator • 02/26/26 06:58 PM ET
We will just have to disagree.....
2hhoop3 • 02/26/26 06:49 PM ET
Bad calls, and an injury to Xavier Adibi!**
NokieHokie • 02/26/26 05:49 PM ET
Yup. X-Man getting hurt was hugely bad
furnulator • 02/26/26 06:02 PM ET
The difference is you have to win at the those moments like VT
1947Sunbowl • 02/26/26 04:39 PM ET
Absolutely but we were playing more than just against USC. **
SCHokie1103 • 02/26/26 02:49 PM ET
Yep. Egregious offensive PI phantom flag, plus we had a key injury
Zanderhokie • 02/26/26 11:10 AM ET
Yes, that injury on Adibi was awful. I actually had never seen an injury

They beat Cincinatti after they became conference champions**
capitals1 • 02/25/26 11:53 PM ET
did not beat them but lost I believe just
lazarus1 • 02/25/26 10:09 PM ET
Led 3-0, No. 7 GT tied it then hit a last second FG to win. Frustrating.
