The Game That Virginia Tech STUNNED #8 Ohio State (2014)

After rewatching this one, I never realized how well Virginia Tech’s defense did in this game. Picked off JT Barrett 3 times and had 7 sacks.

You know, its actually kind of absurd how bad this year ended up being for the Hokies. They ended up dropping 4 of the next 6 games, giving us a massive meme in the "Frank Beamer celebrating a 0-0 tie" screenshot from the Wake Forest game (that they lost 3-0 against a team giving up 27 pts a game), they missed on a ton of recruits like Josh Sweat, Derek Nnandi, Jalen Dalton, a bunch of other dudes I don't entirely remember off the top of my head. Virginia Tech and terrible offense, name a more iconic combination. Seems like if they don't have a generational talent in the backfield like Michael Vick or at least a future pro player like Tyrod Taylor or Logan Thomas, Tech's offense was unstable at best and prone to being complete garbage at worst.

Man I was at this game. So awesome osu fans were so pissed 🤣🤣

As a hokie fan i will say this is game is stained in brain for the rest of my life!

I remember watching this live. Honestly Tech wasnt even super good that year. Well our defense carried. Tech never was the same since Beamet left. And honestly probably gonna be another rough season this year

GO GOBBLERS

It's one of the best victories as a hokie. Sadly, the rest of the year and many like it are plagued with ruined seasons.

Ohio state needed to be humbled early

Anyone remember the bell getting rang during the game sometime around halftime?

I was at the game. Big OSU fan, but that day the Hokies absolutely were the better team. OSU needed to grow up being somewhat inexperienced. Remember that the week before we barely beat Navy in Baltimore. I was surprised that Vtech seemed to fall apart after this. I thought the OSU win would propel them. I had a feeling Ohio State would wake up and become quite good, possibly even still winning the Big Ten title. No way did I think we would win the National Title.

I see Michael Thomas was still running slants back then

I remember alot of people predicting VA Tech winning this game. Wasn't a shock at all.

Those OSU unis were atrocious

This Ohio team were loaded that year. Amazing job by Virginia tech

lessss gooo hokiesss

Great night to be a Hokie! Also OSU can look at this game as the kick in the arse they used to run the table and win the natty.

Injuries killed our season after a great start

Oh man do I miss that level of D play

Brewer was pretty good ngl

I turned 21 that day and we traveled up there for it. Paid a fortune to sit behind a concrete slab. I only remember Bucky ballin and that Riley interception. We had a whole celebration in the front rows of that end zone best game of my life.
