Tyrod Taylor of VT suffered a bruised shoulder during his 2nd series and would have to sit out the rest of the game. This really deflated the VT offense as backup J. Beyer could never get the passing attack going. He finished with only 117yds on 10 completions with 3 Ints.

UM continued to do what they have been doing best the 2nd part of the season is running the football. J. James rushed for 136yds. and had his standard 2 TDs.

D. Van Dyke had the game changer midway through the 2nd quarter. VT was driving and had a chance of closing the gap to 14-7 but DvD had a 90yd INT TD return.
