Beamer faces Miami test after Hokies' fall from grace
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer says Saturday's game against No. 2 Miami will reveal the Hokies character after a 28-7 loss at West Virginia dropped VT from No. 3 to unranked in the BCS standings. QB Bryan Randall threw three interceptions as the team committed 13 penalties, and Beamer owned the blame for the mental lapses while aiming to rebound before a sellout Lane Stadium. Linebacker Michael Crawford described WVU's 93-yard TD as an ESPN low moment that he compared to swallowing sticks.
