Playing for Kicks

Posted Nov 18, 2011
Virginia Tech outplayed North Carolina to come away with a 24-21 win Thursday night. The Hokies made the plays they needed to make, converted the big third down plays and did all the things they needed to do to win, but they also got help from UNC’s woeful kicking game. On a frigid and blustery night in Blacksburg, kicking the ball wasn’t easy, a point interim head coach Everett Withers made following the game. (Inside Carolina)
