Another punch in the gut. A huge, top-15 win was within reach, but Tech let it slip through its fingers. Despite the ending, it was a heroic effort by Braxton Burmeister. Let's hope some of that fight spills over into the Pitt matchup. The Panthers are 4-1 and are scary on offense. VT is going to have to find a way to keep up with Kenny Pickett and Co.

That was a punch in the gut. A VT win was a long shot at halftime, but it seemed like the Hokies were going to pull it off at the last second. Despite the painful ending, it was an extremely valiant effort by the team down the stretch.

Another punch in the gut. The top-10 win was a bit of a long shot when the game started, but it seemed like the Hokies were going to pull it off until late in the second half.
