Two long touchdowns within four minutes late in the quarter provided ample separation for Virginia Tech (5-6, 5-5 ACC) as it claimed a 16th win in 17 games in the series. Herbert’s eighth touchdown run produced the longest play from scrimmage this season for the Hokies, who avenged last year’s 39-30 loss in Charlottesville. That milestone remains in reach only if Virginia plays in a bowl game for a fourth straight season. The Hokies, meanwhile, entered on a four-game slide, so even with Saturday’s win they finished with a losing regular season record for the first time since 1992. Virginia Tech players indicated they would be eager to play in a bowl game if invited, with Fuente set to begin discussions with the team Sunday.
