back-to-back seasons and became the Hokies’ first consensus All-America pick in 1967 . As

a junior in 1966, Loria helped Tech to the Liberty Bowl, contributing three interceptions and

returning three punts for touchdowns . He was named to first-team A-A squads picked

by The Associated Press and the Football Writers Association and was a second- team

selection by the Helms Athletic Foundation . Loria was named to six major All-America squads

following the 1967 season . He finished the year with three interceptions and 420 yards on

punt returns, including a 95-yard return for a TD against Miami . His first-team honors came

from the AP, United Press International, NEA, the Football Coaches Association, the Football

Writers Association and the Walter Camp Foundation .

• Loria joined the Marshall University coaching staff as the defensive backs coach . He died in

the Southern Airlines Flight 932 airplane crash, that killed most of Marshall’s football team, on

November 14, 1970 .

Virginia Tech retired Frank Beamer’s No . 25 in 2002 . But

with Beamer’s blessing in 2016, head coach Justin Fuente

and his staff paid homage to Tech’s legacy of excellence on

special teams by selecting a different special teamer each

week to wear the honorary Beamer 25 jersey . The response

by the team and some of the subsequent performances by

players wearing that symbolic number quickly ensured that

another Virginia Tech tradition had taken root .

LANE STADIUM • BLACKSBURG, VA • SEPT. 26, 2020 • ATT: 1,000BLACKSBURG — Virginia Tech scored on five of its eight first-half possessions, and Quincy Patterson II accounted for three touchdowns off the bench to carry the No. 20 Hokies to a 45-24 victory over NC State in an ACC game at Lane Stadium on Saturday night. Despite playing without 23 players and four coaches because of coronavirus issues and injuries – including starting quarterback Hendon Hooker – the Hokies got off to a quick start in a season opener delayed by two weeks because of two COVID-re-lated postponements. Tech took advantage of an NC State defense missing three starters out with injuries, jumping out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and never looking back. The Hokies scored on their first three possessions, getting a 46-yard field goal from Brian Johnson and touchdown runs of 37 yards from Khalil Herbert and 8 yards from Raheem Blackshear. In the second quarter, Patterson came on in relief of starter Braxton Burmeister, who injured his right (throwing) hand while being sacked with 11 minutes left in the first half. Patterson threw touchdown passes on the Hokies’ final two drives of the half – a 15-yard strike to Tayvion Robinson and a 16-yard score to James Mitchell – and the Hokies took a 31-10 lead at halftime. He also scored on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter. Burmeister returned to the game in the second half, and both he and Patterson combined to played well at the position. Patterson completed 4 of 6 for 75 yards and the two scores, while Burmeister completed 7 of 11 for 106 yards. Herbert paced the Hokies’ efficient ground game, rushing for 104 yards on just six carries. Tech finished with 495 total yards – 314 on the ground. Tech’s defense played a tremendous game as well, holding NC State to just 386 yards and registering six sacks. Devin Leary threw for 165 yards and a score to lead the Wolfpack (1-1, 1-1).

GAME ONE

WALLACE WADE STADIUM • DURHAM, NC • OCT. 3, 2020 • ATT: 0DURHAM, N.C. – Khalil Herbert ran for 208 yards and two touchdowns, Braxton Burmeister accounted for three scores, and undermanned Virginia Tech outlasted Duke 38-31 in an ACC game played Saturday evening at Wallace Wade Stadium. With the victory, the Hokies – who played without 21 players and two coaches – moved to 2-0 on the season, 2-0 in the ACC. Duke fell to 0-4, 0-4 in league play, and lost to Tech for the ninth consecutive time in Durham. For the second consecutive week, the Hokies played with a limited roster. A week ago, Tech was missing 23 players in its victory over NC State. “A majority of what we dealt with last week was offensively,” Tech coach Justin Fuente said. “We had a large number of guys out, but a large number of those guys that played had not practiced very much – but you have a little more control over it on offense. What really scares you is on the defensive side of the ball when your numbers start to get low at a particular position. “There’s no punting on defense. You can’t escape it. You can’t get off the field. In my opinion, that’s where it can become dangerous if you’re in a situation where you so thin some place that you can envision a scenario where you’re in serious jeopardy out there because you can’t get off the field. We weren’t to that point, quite. In my opinion, we were close, and that scares you.” Tech’s offense certainly aided the defense, holding the ball for more than 34 minutes behind Herbert, whose 208 yards rushing were the seventh-most ever by a Tech run-ning back in a single game and the most since Darren Evans set the school record with a 253-yard performance against Maryland in 2008. “Just helping the team out and coming out with a win is really the big thing,” Herbert said. “We had to fight for this one, so just helping the team win and winning the game is the best part about it.” The Hokies finished with 324 yards rushing – their second-best performance in an ACC game. A week ago, Tech rushed for 314 yards in its 45-24 victory over NC State. Duke grabbed a 14-10 lead on Deon Jackson’s 10-yard run early in the third quar-ter, but Burmeister guided Tech on long scoring drives. He scored on a 2-yard run with 9:17 left that gave the Hokies the lead for good, and on Tech’s next possession, he led the Hokies on a 94-yard march that ended with his 14-yard touchdown run that gave the 24-14 lead. The Blue Devils twice cut the Tech lead to three points in the fourth quarter, but each time, Herbert answered. The graduate transfer from Kansas scored on a 23-yard run with 9:58 to give Tech a 31-21 lead and then iced the game with a 60-yard run that gave the Hokies a 38-28 lead with 2:20 remaining. Burmeister didn’t play his best– he turned the ball over twice and completing just 9 of 25 attempts – but he accounted for three scores. He rushed for the two touch-downs and threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to James Mitchell in the first quarter. Playing without several starters in the secondary, Tech’s defense held Duke to 410 yards. That group also had an interception and sacked Duke quarterback Chase Brice seven times.SCORING 1 2 3 4 FVirginia Tech 7 3 14 14 38Duke 7 0 7 17 31

KENAN STADIUM • CHAPEL HILL, N.C. • OCT. 10, 2020 • ATT: 3,535CHAPEL HILL, NC — Michael Carter rushed for a career-high 214 yards, Javonte Williams added another 169 on the ground, and No. 8 North Carolina rolled to a 56-45 ACC victory over No. 19 Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon at Kenan Stadium. The loss marked the first of the season for the Hokies, who fell to 2-1 overall, 2-1 in the ACC. North Carolina moved to 3-0 overall, 3-0 in league play. North Carolina sprinted out to a 21-0 first-quarter lead thanks in part to two Williams touchdown runs and never looked back. Carter had two touchdown runs in the sec-ond half, including a 62-yarder that all but iced the game with 8:49 remaining. The Tar Heels finished with 399 yards rushing on a day in which the Hokies played without both of their starting safeties (undisclosed reasons). The Hokies were down 42-17 after Carter scored on a 16-yard run with 7:14 remaining in the third quarter, but Tech made a game of it, scoring touchdowns on three consecutive possessions. The Hokies cut the lead to 42-37 on a 33-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Hendon Hooker to receiver Tayvion Robinson with 15 seconds left in the third quarter. Tech went for two points to create a one-pos-session game, but Hooker’s pass to James Mitchell was broken up, leaving the Hokies down by just five. But North Carolina answered on its ensuing possession. The Tar Heels marched 75 yards in just six plays and scored on quarterback Sam Howell’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Dazz Newsome. The extra point gave the Tar Heels a 49-37 lead with 12:37 remaining. The Hokies punted on their next possession, and Carter then delivered the dagger. On the fourth play of the drive, he burst up the right sideline and scored to give the Tar Heels a 56-37 lead. Tech finished with 495 yards of offense. Khalil Herbert again led the way, rushing for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Hooker completed 7 of 13 for 136 yards and two touchdowns.

GAME THREE

LANE STADIUM • BLACKSBURG, VA • OCT. 17, 2020 • ATT: 1,000BLACKSBURG, VA — Hendon Hooker ran for a career-high 164 yards and three touchdowns and threw for a score in No. 23 Virginia Tech’s 40-14 victory over Boston College.

Khalil Herbert added 143 yards rushing for the Hokies (3-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). They ran for 350 yards in bouncing back from a road loss to North Carolina.

Tech played without more than 20 players in wins over NC State and Duke and without 15 in the loss to the Tar Heels – and missed coaches in all of those games. But only two starters were out against the Eagles (one because of an injury), all the coaches were available, and Hooker looked comfortable in his first start of the season.

It all added up to the Hokies’ best performance of the season.

“Just awfully proud of our coaches and players bouncing back,” Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said. “It was kind of cool to have all our coaches on the sideline and in the booth today for the first time. Hopefully, we’ll continue to get some of our guys back as we go through the season.

“I think it’s pretty obvious what the story tonight was – creating turnovers on defense and rushing the ball on offense … Happy to get the win.”

Virginia Tech scored off of four of BC’s five turnovers to pull away. The Eagles (3-2, 2-2) turned it over three times in the first half alone, with the most damaging coming when quarterback Phil Jurkovec overthrew an open Jaelen Gill deep in Virginia Tech territory. Devin Taylor intercepted the pass for the Hokies, and Hooker’s 29-yard touchdown pass to Herbert made it 17-7.

Boston College cut it to 17-14 on a touchdown pass from Jurkovec to Hunter Long with 7:11 left in the third quarter, but the Hokies scored the final 24 points – 17 of those off BC turnovers.

Jurkovec threw for 345 yards and two touchdowns, but he also turned the ball over three times.

GAME FOUR


TRUIST FIELD • WINSTON SALEM, NC • OCT. 24, 2020 • ATT: 2,135WINSTON SALEM, NC — An inability to convert in the red zone, three turnovers, and 10 penalties hurt No. 19 Virginia Tech on Saturday, and the Hokies fell 23-16 to Wake Forest in an ACC game at Truist Field. With the loss, the Hokies fell to 3-2 overall on the season, 3-2 in ACC play. Wake Forest won its third consecutive game, moving to 3-2 overall, 2-2 in league play. “It’s obviously my responsibility to get our team out there playing well,” Tech coach Justin Fuente said. “We made uncharacteristic mistakes. I don’t remember the last time we had that many penalties. We turned the football over. We were poor in the red zone. We weren’t very good on third down. Just disappointed. We should have done a better job.” Tech fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter and never led in this one. The Hokies did tie the game at 10 in the second quarter on a Brian Johnson field goal and a 39-yard touchdown pass from Hendon Hooker to James Mitchell with 8:40 left in the first half. But the Demon Deacons responded with a 17-play, 75-yard drive that ended with Kenneth Walker III’s 6-yard touchdown run with 1:31 left in the half and gave them the lead for good. Wake Forest then made arguably the biggest play of the game on the ensuing possession, when – with the Hokies driving – Nick Anderson intercept-ed a Hooker pass with 4 seconds left to end the half. The Anderson interception was emblematic of the Hokies’ struggles in the red zone. Tech made four trips inside the Wake Forest 20, but only converted those into two Johnson field goals. “We turned the ball over,” Fuente said when asked about the cause of the red zone problems. “They play a little bit of a bend-but-don’t break defense, but they came out and challenged us a little more on the outside. We didn’t really make any big plays, I thought, in the passing game. We ran the ball still OK [223 yards rushing] against a pretty loaded box, but we really didn’t make very many plays, I feel like, throwing the ball. You can look at the passing yards. “I don’t know. We just weren’t very effective down there. We had very few chunk plays, and we turned the ball over. That’s what you get.” In the fourth quarter, Wake Forest pushed its lead to 23-13 on a field goal by Nick Sciba with 11:05 remaining, but the Hokies cut the lead to 23-16 on a 54-yard field goal by Johnson with 2:38 to go. Tech got a stop on the ensuing possession, but Wake Forest downed its punt at the Tech 2, and the Hokies’ drive ended with Hooker’s third interception of the game – all by Anderson. Tech finished with 433 yards and outgained Wake Forest (346), but just couldn’t capitalized because of all the mistakes. Hooker completed 17 of 33 for 223 yards, with the touchdown and three interceptions. Khalil Herbert rushed for 64 yards on 14 carries. Christian Beal-Smith led Wake Forest with 129 yards rushing. The Demon Deacons finished with 236 yards on the ground.

GAME FIVE

CARDINAL STADIUM • LOUISVILLE, KY. • OCT. 31, 2020 • ATT: 11,901LOUISVILLE — After suffering through arguably the worst game of his career in the Virginia Tech football team’s loss at Wake Forest, Hendon Hooker responded with arguably his best. Hooker rushed for three touchdowns, and he completed 10 of 10 for 183 yards to lift the Hokies to a 42-35 victory over Louisville on Saturday in an ACC game played at Cardinals Stadium. With the win, the Hokies moved to 4-2 overall, 4-2 in the ACC. Louisville fell to 2-5, 1-5 in league play. Behind Hooker, the Hokies jumped all over the Cardinals right from the start, open-ing a 21-0 lead and then they scored on four consecutive possessions in the second half to pull away. “Awfully proud of our guys – congratulations to our players and our staff,” Tech coach Justin Fuente said. “Great response today. It wasn’t always pretty, but we found a way to get the job done.” Louisville – missing six defensive linemen for undisclosed reasons – cut Tech’s lead to 42-35 on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Malik Cunningham to Javian Hawkins with a minute left in the game. But the Hokies recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock for the victory. Tech’s offense put together an impressive performance, amassing 466 yards in the game. Tech rushed for more than 200 yards for the sixth consecutive game, did not turn the ball over, and scored on all five of its red-zone opportunities. Tech, which scored on seven of 11 possessions the game, started quickly, needing only five plays on its first possession – all runs – to get in the end zone. Hooker’s 6-yard touchdown run, and Brian Johnson’s extra point gave the Hokies a 7-0 lead less than five minutes into the game. Hooker added two more touchdown runs on back-to-back possessions spanning the first and second quarters. A Devin Taylor interception led to Hooker’s 3-yard scoring run, and early in the second quarter – with the Hokies facing a fourth-and-goal from the 1 – Hooker scored to give the Hokies a 21-point lead. Louisville scored the final 14 points of the first half to cut the lead to 21-14 at halftime, with the big play coming on a 90-yard run by Javian Hawkins on the final play of the half. But Tech answered on the first possession of the second half, sparking a dominant second-half performance by the offense. A 63-yard drive ended with Tré Turner scor-ing on a 1-yard run, and Johnson’s extra point gave Tech a 28-14 lead with 11:15 left in the third quarter. Herbert rushed for 147 yards on 21 carries for the Hokies, who rushed for 283 yards. Turner caught four passes for 71 yards. Cunningham paced the Cardinals by throwing for a career-high 350 yards and three touchdowns, but was intercepted the three times. SCORING 1 2 3 4 FVirginia Tech 14 7 7 14 42 Louisville 0 14 0 21 35

LANE STADIUM • BLACKSBURG, VA • NOV. 7, 2020 • ATT: 1,000BLACKSBURG — Alex Barbir’s 51-yard field goal with 1 second remaining over-shadowed a great game by Virginia Tech quarterback Hendon Hooker and propelled No. 25 Liberty to a 38-35 upset of the Hokies in a nonconference game Saturday at Lane Stadium. With the loss, Tech fell to 4-3 overall. Liberty moved to 7-0 and extended its winning streak to eight consecutive games going back to last season. Barbir’s kick punctuated a wild ending for the Flames, who rallied from a 20-14 halftime deficit and moved to 7-0 for the first time in program history. Barbir had a 59-yard attempt blocked with 8 seconds left, and Tech’s Jermaine Waller returned it to the end zone for what appeared to be the game-winning score for the Hokies. But officials ruled that Virginia Tech had called a timeout before the attempt. “I’ve always done this,” Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said. “I don’t believe in waiting till the last second to call a timeout in those situations because I don’t like ever letting the kicker a free swing at it. I hollered timeout, and I guess I waited too long. That’s what I told the team – it’s on me.” Liberty then elected to go for it on fourth-and-6 from the Virginia Tech 41. Malik Willis found CJ Yarbrough for an 8-yard gain at the Virginia Tech 33 with 5 seconds left, allowing Barbir to come out for a shorter 51-yard attempt, which he drilled. Hooker paced Virginia Tech, throwing for 217 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 156 yards and a touchdown. His 12-yard touchdown pass to Tré Turner with 52 seconds remaining tied the game at 35, setting up the wild ending. He also threw touchdown passes of 3 yards to Nick Gallo and 9 yards to Kaleb Smith. Tech finished with 418 yards of offense. GAME NOTES• Hooker’s second-quarter touchdown run marked his eighth rushing touchdown of the season and the 14th of his career.• Hooker’s three touchdown passes give him eight for the season and 20 for his career.• Hooker’s 100-yard rushing performance represented his second of the season. He rushed for a career-best 164 yards in the Hokies’ 40-14 win over Boston College on Oct. 17.• Gallo’s second-quarter touchdown reception marked the first touchdown reception of his career.• Smith’s fourth-quarter touchdown reception marked the second touchdown recep-tion of his career.• Johnson has made 14 field goals through seven games. He needs 10 field goals in the Hokies’ final four games to break the single-season record.• Amaré Barno played maybe the best game of his career, finishing with eight tackles, including two for a loss, and a sack. He also broke up two passes and forced a fumble.• Jaylen Griffin had two tackles for a loss, a sack, and he recovered two fumbles. SCORING 1 2 3 4 FLiberty 7 7 7 17 38 Virginia Tech 3 17 0 15 35
