Like the Cavaliers, the Hokies have dropped four of their last five, and their most recent — a 6-3 double overtime loss at Wake Forest — was the worst of them all. Coach Frank Beamer's team has played in a bowl game after each of the past 21 seasons, the second-longest run in the country behind Florida State's 32. "Miami might have been our only game where we played 60 minutes of football: offensively, defensively and on special teams," said linebacker Henry Coley, one of 34 seniors playing their last regular-season game. The Hokies had this experience two years ago, needing to win their last two games to qualify for a bowl, and got there with a 17-14 victory against Virginia on a field goal on the final play. Wide receiver Willie Byrn, one of 10 seniors who could be playing their final game with the Hokies, said the Cavaliers might be the best they've been in his career. Virginia starter Greyson Lambert has thrown 10 interceptions and nine touchdown passes, and the Hokies' Michael Brewer has thrown 13 interceptions and 15 scoring passes. Both teams also hit the QB a lot (Virginia Tech has 42 sacks, Virginia 31), and forcing mistakes and cashing them in could well be a determining factor. What do the Hokies have planned for backup QB Brenden Mosley, who is more of a dual threat than Brewer?
