Even Jack Targarona, who has been the punting specialist, made a few trips rushing from scrimmage. Virginia Techs lone score was by End Charles Herb as he pulled in pass from Quarterback Bruce Fisher in the end zone to end a 56-yard drive in the last period Most of that distance was gained on two passes from Fisher to Chad White and Sterling Wingo.
