Tech vs UVa 1953 pic

On Sept. 26, 1953, the Virginia Tech football team celebrated its 20-6 win over the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. When Tech coach Frank Moseley benched star quarterback Johnny Dean because of a questionable knee, former punter Jack Williams made the most of his shot at QB, scoring the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. Hope this link works.
