(AP) - One of the key elements to Virginia Tech's rise in stature has been the phenomenon known as Beamerball - special teams plays that lead to quick points for the Hokies.
When the Hokies play at East Carolina on Thursday night, they might have flashbacks to their season-opener a year ago when they experienced the other side.
Virginia Tech led 22-20 with about 2 minutes left when it was forced to punt. T.J. Lee blocked it for the Pirates and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown in ECU's 27-22 victory.
"It was pretty terrible," Hokies linebacker Cody Grimm recalled this week. "I was running down the field and just heard the crowd roar, and I'm like, 'That can't be good.' I didn't really hear the block and then I turned around and saw the guy running into the end zone."
