How Important is Russell Athletic Bowl to Virginia Tech?


Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports

Virginia Tech’s football program may have many flaws, but the biggest and most noticeable one is the Hokies inability to win in the postseason. During Frank Beamer’s tenure as the head coach of his alma mater he has a record of 8-11 in bowl games. That is one of the biggest reasons why it is [...]
