The Hokies had little to celebrate in the end. A 6-3 double-overtime loss to Wake Forest left Virginia Tech 5-6 with one game to play and a 22-year streak of consecutive bowl appearances in serious jeopardy.

It was the first game to finish regulation with zero points since 2005 and it was the first game in FBS this season to even enter the fourth quarter with no points being scored.
The last scoreless regulation game was on Oct. 22, 2005, when Arkansas State and Florida Atlantic played 60 minutes to a draw. Arkansas State won that game on Eric Neihouse’s 21-yard field goal in the first overtime.
Wake Forest got the first points of the game in the first overtime on Mike Weaver’s 49-yard field goal, but Virginia Tech matched it on its possession with a 28-yard boot from Joey Slye.
But on their possession in the second overtime, Slye missed a 53-yard field goal after Virginia Tech lost 10 yards on its first series—a run for minus-4 yards, a pass for 5 yards and a sack that lost 11.
Wake Forest ran the ball straight ahead twice on its possession and ended it on a 39-yard field goal by Weaver.
So that leaves the Hokies needing to beat Virginia at home next week or they will be home for bowl season for the first time since 1992.
