Hokies eye BCS game

Virginia Tech opened the season with a home loss to East Carolina. The Hokies may close it in a Bowl Championship Series game. The Hokies (8-4, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) clinched a berth in the ACC title game with a 17-14 victory over Virginia in Blacksburg.

As always, the defense led the way, with Virginia Tech’s Dorian Porch intercepting Cavaliers quarterback Marc Verica in the end zone with 2:15 to play.

“We’ve battled,” Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. “Everything we’ve done this year has been work.”

Next week the Hokies will take on No. 20 Boston College in a rematch of last year’s ACC title game.
