OK, here’s a full wrap of our coverage from the game, starting with the stories in the newspaper. They include: -
A year after missing the postseason, Virginia Tech’s Cody Journell kicks Hokies into bowl game
There was a time not all that long ago when Virginia Tech’s Cody Journell didn’t even know if he’d be allowed to kick for the Hokies ever again. But after missing on last season’s Sugar Bowl because of legal issues, Journell’s right foot delivered Virginia Tech its 20th straight bowl appearance with a clutch kick for the second time in two weeks. -

To many, Saturday's game between the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech had little meaning and was of little interest. -
HOKIES SAVE STREAK
After Cody Journell extended the Hokies' season with a 29-yard field goal as time expired Saturday in a 17-14 win against rival Virginia, senior linebacker Bruce Taylor sat in the postgame interview room at Lane Stadium, clutching the Commonwealth Cup in one arm close to his chest. -

The good news: Hokies, Cavs not far away
