Game 15: 2003 vs. Virginia Tech

Did somebody say rivalry? Maryland and Pitt have already appeared on this list, so it’s about time Virginia Tech did as well.

Coincidentally enough, the Mountaineers also hold a 28-22 series advantage over the Hokies, the same number of wins and losses against Maryland.

On Oct. 22, 2003, the Mountaineers added to their tally with the biggest upset in Mountaineer Field history as WVU earned a 28-7 win over No. 3 Virginia Tech.

The Mountaineers put up 422 yards of offense with Weirton, W.Va. native Quincy Wilson running for 178 yards on 33 carries. Also on offense, Travis Garvin proved he was one of the best wide receivers in the Rich Rodriguez era with a 93-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter.
