Virginia Tech stormed from behind late yesterday to seize a game that North Carolina seemingly had under control.

The Hokies won 20-17 by taking advantage of a monumental Tar Heels collapse. The Tar Heels led 17-3 with 6:44 left in the third quarter after Greg Little’s 50-yard touchdown run, but fell apart almost immediately.

SATURDAY’S STAR

T.J. Lee, special teams

East Carolina

Lee was chewed out by head coach Skip Holtz for committing two penalties on running plays while lined up at wide receiver. Lee became the hero later when he blocked Brent Bowden’s punt and returned it for the winning touchdown. Holtz said after the game that he planned to apologize to Lee. When told that, Lee said no apology was necessary.

Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer can’t remember the last time he’s taken so many rookies on their first road trip.

Beamer said 10 true freshmen and 15 redshirt freshmen are likely to play when the Hokies face East Carolina in Charlotte on Saturday. In all, there will be 30 players on the travel squad who have never played in a college game, meaning 41 percent of the travel squad will be new.

“It’s a little bit scary,” Beamer said.
