Can you name the Virginia Tech players with 100 yards rushing in a single game? by Markkos1992 | Online Games & Trivia by Sporcle

 

[Ragingcroc]

I only got ten.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

16 within 3 minutes and that was all....

Only 12 for me. Only could really get the names from the 2000's + Shyrone Stith. And forgot about Branden Ore... reminded me of what that player could have been if he stayed focus on the game.

No doubt, he could have been one of the true great ones at VT.

I unplug for one week and we pull in recruits, fortunately the horrible second game was not even mentioned at the ESPYs, Georgia Tech is stripped of their title, McAdoo gets publicly humiliated, big Marv fires off on twitter, and the west coast is in a tussy over alittle road maintenance.

I'm pretty sure as of now, only two active coaches per sport have won an ACC title in football or basketball. Beamer, Grobe, Roy and K. A sad reminder of the poor coaching and high turnover in both sports.

I got 16. I couldn't spell Pegues correctly without cheating, so kinda 17. This list seems to be Beamer era only, and very incomplete overall. I wasted alot of time to figure out that no spelling variation of Cyrus Lawrence, Kenny Lewis, and Roscoe Coles, etc. were possibilities.

I misspelled Cheeseman once or twice

Was lurking Twitter today and came across a bunch of former VT players trying to organize a pick up game for half time or the night before spring game. <---seemed to be mostly talk but was picking up steam.

 

[Lumbee09]

Saw that Kyle Tucker tweeted this E:60 video from Disney. About Curtis Granderson and a fan of his that died in the 4/16 shootings. Pretty touching story.
