Virginia Tech already had the ACC Coastal Division Championship locked up after North Carolina lost to N.C. State but beating UVA may have been even sweeter.  The Hokies racked up a season high 579 yards of offense and limited the UVA to just 247 yards of total in a 52-10 win over the Cavaliers for their 13th straight win in the series.

Senior running back Sam Rogers from Hanover, rushed for a season high 105 yards and two touchdowns in his final game at Lane Stadium.  Afterwards, he proposed to his girlfriend and she said yes.

The Hokies will play Clemson in the ACC Championship Game next Saturday in Orlando.
