Tracking the Score of the VT-uva Game for #15Straight

#15Straight wins over the Hoos got me thinking about the cumulative score difference in those 15 games. Using College Football Reference for scoring information, I put together the chart below.

Some interesting things I discovered:

  • Tech has never trailed by more than 7 points during the streak.
  • The longest stretch where Tech held the lead or the score was tied was almost 194 minutes from the first half of the 2009 game until the second half of the 2012 game. The second longest stretch spanned the fourth quarter of the 2015 game into the fourth quarter of this year's game.
  • The cumulative point differential topped out (so far) at 267 on the blocked punt touchdown in this year's game.
  • Jarrett Boykin's recovery of a Ryan Williams fumble in the 2009 game put the total over the century mark.
  • Bucky Hodges' punt block recovery in the end zone in 2014 put us over the 200 mark (for the first time). Joey Slye field goals in the first and fourth quarters of the 2015 game put us over the 200 mark again momentarily and for good.
