Stanford, CA-Virginia Tech received a big assist from Mother Nature, as a driving rain and steady wind helped ground Andrew Luck and the Stanford Cardinal, 23-17. The Hokies victory capped off a wild Friday that saw all 4 road teams come up victorious and advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals. Virginia Tech ran for 230 yards against Stanford and controlled both sides of the line of scrimmage offensively and defensively.
The Hokies unleashed a season worth of hurt on Andrew Luck in one evening, sacking him 7 times and hurrying him on virtually every throw. Tyrod Taylor had an efficient game, completing 14 of 22 for 228 yards, including a number of big throws on third down to keep drives alive. Virginia Tech jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first 6 minutes in the game, then survived a late Stanford rally that tied it at 17. Two field goals from Chris Hazley was the difference for the Hokies.
