3 Key Plays
1) After Southern Mississippi scored a field goal, the Hokies responded on their first offensive play from scrimmage with a 41 yard bomb to Eddie Royal. Down 3-0 at home to a big underdog, the Hokies could have tanked their season right there, but this successful play led to a TD drive that put the team up 7-3 and gave them the confidence they needed that everything would be all right.
2) Brandon Flowers forces a safety by getting the Southern Miss QB to intentionally ground the ball while throwing from his own end zone. This put the Hokies up 12-6 but more importantly it gave the defense the fire that they played with the rest of the night. After giving up two early field goals the defense seemed to draw strength from this safety and played much better football the rest of the way.
3) Branden Ore busts a 70 yard TD run in the 4th quarter to ice the game at 29-6. This run was so badly needed by Ore and the offensive line. His big run against Cincinnati earlier in the season had been called back due to holding by Eddie Royal but here was a play where the blocking was well executed and Ore made a beautiful cutback to run untouched into the end zone. A feel good play for the team to be sure.
