Monday Thoughts: Requiem for a Rivalry

There was a lot going on Saturday, highest on the list being the storybook ending to Sam Rogers’ Lane Stadium career. Sam has had a lot of great moments in Lane Stadium, but on this day, as his Hokies — and make no doubt about it, they are his — romped over Virginia 52-10, Sam was front and center. He had career highs in carries (15) and yards (105), had his longest career carry (32 yards), and he ran for a TD in Lane Stadium for the first time.
