Gameday in Bobby Dod Stadium did not disappoint! This game was probably an all-time NDL classic. The Yellow Jackets were able to move the ball really well and cause a few turnovers. However, the fumble-itis continues on the offensive side of the ball. Jay Haynes fumbles twice in the game and the crucial fumble came in the fourth quarter with about three minutes left. The Hokies go down the field and ultimately bank a field goal of the post to win the game! Hokies win 27-24.
