Hokies rip Vols in Chick-fil-A Bowl, 37-14

Moreover, the victory enabled the Hokies to snuff out a string of past trends that had haunted them for years.
First, it marks the first time in Frank Beamer’s 23 years as head coach that Tech has won back-to-back bowl games. Tech improved to 8-9 under Beamer and 9-14 all time in bowls.
Secondly, the win snapped Tech’s run of futility vs. Southeastern Conference teams. The Hokies had lost four straight times to SEC teams.
Next, it ended Tech’s hex in domes. The Hokies had been 5-14 all time when playing inside, including 2-11 under Beamer.
And last, but not least, it enabled Tech (10-3) to produce its sixth consecutive double-digit win season. Texas, which has turned the trick nine straight years, is the only other Division I-A team in the nation with a longer streak.

This game was played on the first morning of 2010, Singapore time — and what a way to start the new year! It may not be a perfect ending for the season (no National or ACC Championship), but I’ll take it.
