A few notes from the 3rd quarter

  • UNC running back Giovani Bernard, who left in the second quarter from an apparent helmet-to-helmet hit with Jayron Hosley, has a mild concussion and will not return. However, in his place, A.J. Blue has performed just fine, rushing for 32 on 9 attempts
  • Hokies scored on first drive of the half, going 70 yards on 9 plays. Touchdown was on a Thomas run up the middle for 23 yards. Thomas was just trying to get first down on 3rd-and-two, got a lot more
  • With that rushing touchdown, Thomas ties Bib Schweickert for 2nd all time with 9 rushing TDs by a QB. He’s two behind Bruce Arians.
  • Since catching three balls in the first quarter, Jones has yet to touch the ball. Hosley has played much better since bad start.
  • Hokies second touchdown as on seven plays and went for 67 yards. Touchdown was on 4-yard pas to D.J. Coles
  • With 9 receptions Jarrett Boykin has set his career high on his senior day and has eclipsed 100 yards. Great way to end his career.
