This, my dear friends, is one former Virginia Tech football player throwing five touchdown passes to a former Virginia Tech football commit. Against the best team in the galaxy. To cut Darth Vader at the knees and maybe, if we're all lucky, keep them out of the College Football Playoff for just the second time since its invention.
