Roth said the game was bound to have gotten the team's attention. He said it's good that the Hokies were able to catch up from 14 points down on the road, considering that Andre Davis wasn't available for much of the game.

Roth joked that Engelberger made it contingent upon the bathrooms in the football wing being named for John Ballein, associate AD for football operations. The women play at 10 a.m., and the men at noon.
Admission is free.
Meanwhile, basketball tickets are on sale and Jim Weaver said prices were not increased this year because of the football ticket increase and the fact that VT wants to build support for basketball. VT leads the Big East in third down conversions, at 51.2 percent. Pitt is second at 43 percent. Miami is at 34 percent. VT set a new conference record last Saturday by reaching 13 consecutive Big East wins.
