Kevin Jones, in only three starts, rushed for 957 yards, fifth among I-A freshmen. Hokies’ four shutouts lead Division I-A. Senir Andre Davis sits third in Tech career receiving yards and tied for third in receptions. Tech and Florida State meet in a bowl for the second time, after the 2000 Nokia Sugar Bowl. Frank Beamer needs one win to reach 150 career victories.
