The thundering herd surprised the hokies during the first half. They can actually penetrate the hokie defense and run the football! There was a moment during the second half where Bud Foster was furious -- after the herd got a touchdown. Is an upset brewing?
During the third quarter, the hokies showed why they are #3 in the nation. They scored 17 points in 3 and half minutes. The herd just moved 1 yard compared to 200 yards of the hokies during the third quarter. With 41-7 on the scoreboard, Frank Beamer and the coaching staff let the second stringers handle the ball.
Aside from Marcus Vick, Vince Hall, and Darryl Tapp, the redshird freshman, Brenden Ore emerged as a star to watch. Ore stepped up to do the running job when Cedric Humes went to the sidelines because of injury. Mike Imoh is also injured and did not play.
The hokies won 41-14.
A couple of upsets however happened later of the day:
#16 Penn state lions beat #6 Ohio buckeyes
#20 UCLA bruins beat #10 Cal bears
#25 Oregon ducks beat #17 Arizona St. sun devils
Minnesota gophers beat #21 Michigan wolverines
