2006 Week 16

Headed into the ACC championship game it appeared that Virginia Tech was invinsible. They even defeated the tigers earlier this year quite soundly 20-10. Though the tigers were with out chansi stuckey that game, it never seemed the tigers could get over the hump. Will Procter couldn't pass the ball, etc. Well headed into this week, the tiger get stuckey back and have a new star in tribble reese. What suprised tech the most though is the tigers did not play these too there advantage. They pounded the ball and played the best defense the school has ever seen in a game.

To open the game on virginia tech's first drive they fumbled the ball(which was recovered by anthony waters) and was completed to Aaron Kelly on a post route td. From that point on the tigers never looked back as the pounded running back james davis all day long to the tune of 21 carries for 86 yards. Matched with 3rd and 3s all game this is how tribble reese and chansi stuckey fit into the equation. The slant route. VT always blitzed someone inside to try and take out davis,which lead to stuckey being open on the slant which lead to 3 catches for 69 yards and one touchdown. Every time Tech had the ball it was a 3 and out or a turnover. DL Donnel Clark was player of the game by having 7tkls, 2tfl, and 2 sacks on the day. This is the 2nd shutout the tigers have had this season. The last was vs Florida Atlantic were they won 44-0
