(Editor's Note: We don't have any photos from Saturday's game showing the
Hokies in their all-maroon unis, but just for fun, we decided to include some
classics from Tech's 2004 victory over UVa in Lane Stadium, showing current
players in action two years ago. -- Will)
Even though it didn't draw much attention on the national level, the
Virginia/Virginia Tech game returned to its rightful place on the schedule --
at the end of rivalry week on Thanksgiving weekend. For Tech followers, it was a
great way to wrap up the regular season -- a beautiful, spring-like day in
Blacksburg that ended with a shutout against the rivals from Charlottesville.
And it was classic Virginia Tech football. Using the formula preached by Frank
Beamer all season, the Hokies used strong defense, a strong kicking game, and a
ball-control offense that made just enough plays to secure a 17-0 victory
against Virginia.
