Louisiana Tech at Virginia
Virginia trying to bounce back from 2 straight losses LTU trying to stay unbeaten.UVA was up 24-10 but 1 1/2 quarters later LTU is up 44-24. Because of 2 things.1. Micheal Rocco threw 3 INT’s (it should have been 7).and 2. In the game UVA had 145 yards of penalties. any ways after a clock wasting 6 minute drive Philip Sims (UVA’s Backup) throws it to Jake McGhee. then with 3 minutes left Sims throws another TD so it’s 44-38 and we’ve got a ball game. but UVA does not go for the onside kick. 3rd and 1. half of the fans have left but it’s still the loudest it has been the entire game so its 4th and 1 and LTU is going to go for it but Mike London has 1 last player to send out and so UVA gets called for 12 men on the field and LTU gets that game winning first down and UVA fans sure are mad at London.
