Reliving 1995 Game-by-Game, Part 5: Pitt

Virginia Tech followed up their dramatic win over Miami with a 26-16 road win over Pitt that was not decided until the fourth quarter.  The Hokies trailed 9-0 at halftime, and for much of that game it genuinely appeared that the Hokies were going to drop to 1-3.

Unfortunately, the channel that hosted all past Tech games in their entirety (@hokietapes) was shut down by YouTube recently, so there is no full-game video available online.  However, thanks to the generosity of a Tech fan, I got the game (and all 1995 games) on DVD so I was able to watch it all the way through.  Below I’ve included a link for highlights.

To make this series more immersive, I recommend watching the video before reading my article.  If you pretend like this is actually 1995, this will be a lot more fun.

Like all articles in this series, I’ve written the article as if we were currently living 1995.  I imagine this is what I’d have written had I been writing day-after articles back in 1995.
