As a result-- all traffic is now using the southbound lanes while crews work to clean-up debris blocking the northbound side of the road.

It was the Hokies worst Big East loss ever as they managed just 15 rushing yards and turned the ball over 4 times. The players and coaches alike were and still are speechless when it comes to describing what happened. ((LUKE OWENS:)) Owens is one of two seniors starters on the offensive line - but it's the man in the middle with big biceps that will be the key Saturday against Pitt. Junior Jake Grove - who played under Ed Landis - at Jefferson Forest - graced the cover of the game program this past Saturday - He benches a team best 440 pounds.
