VIRGINIA TECH 20- 13 Game Story SAN FRANCISCO ( Ticker) - - Lee Suggs rushed for two touchdowns, including the go- ahead score with 33 seconds left in the third quarter, as 19th- ranked Virginia Tech held off Air Force, 20- 13, to win the inaugural San Francisco Bowl.
In his final collegiate contest, Suggs extended his Division I- A mark for consecutive games with a touchdown to 27. The senior tailback kept the streak alive with a 17- yard run with 2: 36 left in the first quarter that pulled fairmont sonoma mission inn spa Virginia Tech ( 10- 4) within 10- 7.
Suggs finished with 70 yards on 19 carries and Bryan Randall completed 18- of- 23 passes for 177 yards. " It is sad leaving here after playing for five years, but it is time to move on now. All things come to an end, " said Suggs, who become the second- leading scorer in Big East Conference history with 336 points. " Even though I have held the rankings for a few games, I am very excited about achieving this goal and I want to really thank my linemen, they are tough up front. " The Hokies salvaged the finale of an up- and- down season. They won their first eight games and had hopes of playing for the national title before dropping three straight and four of five to fall into a lower- tier bowl.
Virginia Tech, which lost to Air Force in the only previous meeting in the 1984 Independence Bowl, improved to 5- 5 in its last 10 postseason appearances. It is 7- 0 against non- conference foes this year. " We hung in there and battled, " Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. " I would have liked to see us score a little more when we had good field position. Our kids played fairmont sonoma mission inn spa hard and we found a way to win. " Matt Ward scored on a 15- yard run and Anthony Butler rushed for 75 yards, but Air Force ( 8- 5) could not give coach Fisher De. Berry his 150th career victory. The Falcons, who fell to 6- 6 in bowl games, closed the season with five losses in seven games. " We are very disappointed that this is the second game in a row that we have lost in the last play of the game, " said De.
Berry, whose team endured a 38- 34 setback to San Diego State on November 23. " That is something that we certainly have to address. " After taking a 10- 0 lead on Ward' s TD and a 45- yard field goal by Josh Ashcroft in the first 7 1/ 2 minutes, Air Force was held to three points.
Suggs' fairmont sonoma mission inn spa fumble early in Virginia Tech' s first possession fairmont sonoma mission inn spa led to Ashcroft' s kick, the longest of his career. " I thought that I was down flat on the ground, " Suggs said of the fumble. " I had been down and holding the ball out getting ready to drop it. The guy hit it and they picked it up. " Chance Harridge connected with J.
Waller on a 4th- and- 10 completion with 10 seconds left to get Air Force to the Virginia Tech 10. After two incompletions, Harridge tried to get to the end zone but was forced into a game- ending fumble by Ronyell Whitaker. " It was a play that you read the corners and it is an option route between the tight end and the halfback, " Harridge said. " My read guy kind of sat underneath and the linebacker dropped, so I didn' t have a throwing lane. Once that lane collapses, it is either throw the ball away or just take off for the end zone.
I think that I made the right decision to try to make a big play at the end. I just came up short. " Earlier in that drive, Whitaker tipped away a pass in the end zone from Harridge fairmont sonoma mission inn spa to Anthony Park. " I guess that ( Whitaker) was trailing on it and the quarterback hung it up a little too much and he made a great play on the ball, " Hokies linebacker Vegas Robinson said. " I don' t think that we lost the football game, " De. Berry said. " Time ran out on us.
Suggs' second TD put the Hokies ahead, and Ashcroft added a 21- yard field goal at 5: 02 of the final period. Harridge completed just one of his first 13 passes and finished 4- of- 19 for 91 yards with two interceptions. He also rushed fairmont sonoma mission inn spa for 70 yards, becoming the 16th player in college football fairmont sonoma mission inn spa history to run and pass for 1, 000 yards in the same season.
Harridge also helped Air Force lead the nation in rushing. " It is a great tribute to our offensive team, along with our running fairmont sonoma mission inn spa backs, " he said. " A group of guys that nobody really knew. It is great to be able to say that we led the nation in rushing offense. " Virginia Tech split end Ernest Wilford' s 16- yard reception in the third quarter was his 46th of the season, breaking Mike Burnop' s 1971 school record.
SAN DIEGO ( Ticker) - - Jake Plummer and Clinton Portis had a big first half before going down with injuries as the Denver Broncos fairmont sonoma mission inn spa coasted to a 37- 13 rout of the San Diego Chargers. Ranked next- to- last in the NFL after struggling in his Broncos' debut, Plummer took advantage of an inexperienced secondary and completed 9- of- 13 passes for 94 yards and three touchdowns. But he separated his right shoulder fairmont sonoma mission inn spa while diving fairmont sonoma mission inn spa for a first down midway through fairmont sonoma mission inn spa the second quarter. The Broncos initially announced the injury fairmont sonoma mission inn spa as a concussion. " That was me fibbing a little bit, " Denver coach Mike Shanahan said. " I was afraid if Steve ( Beuerlein) went down on the first or second play he went in there, they would know that we could not throw the football.
So for his sake and our sake as a team, I had to fib a little big. " Portis rushed for 129 yards on just 12 carries. His success allowed Plummer to throw play- action TD passes to fullback Reuben Droughns and tight end Shannon Sharpe, but he suffered a bruised sternum before halftime and did not return. " It was a draw play right before the half, " Portis said. " The guy got low and hit me in the chest underneath the shoulder pads. I knew right away something was wrong. I couldn' t catch my breath. " Plummer and Portis helped Denver fairmont sonoma mission inn spa ( 2- 0) build a 24- 10 lead before turning things over to Steve Beuerlein and Mike Anderson.
Anderson added 65 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and Jason Elam kicked three field goals for the Broncos, who improved to 15- 5 against San Diego under Shanahan. " I thought Jake played extremely well when he was in there, so did Clinton, " Shanahan said. " When you lose people, other guys have to step up.
I was pleased with the way the guys stepped up. " " Quarterbacks change, running backs change, tight ends change, we just get the job done, " Sharpe added. " We have a system. Steve and Mike came in and did the job. " La. Dainian fairmont sonoma mission inn spa Tomlinson rushed 16 times for 93 yards, but the Chargers have been outscored, 64- 27, in two games.
fairmont sonoma mission inn spa It is their second fairmont sonoma mission inn spa 0- 2 start in four years. " I think it' s reasonably evident that right now we' re not playing very well, " San Diego coach Marty Schottenheimer said. " Part of the problem that I see is that we don' t have any consistency.
We move the ball for a while, and then we can' t. " On the defensive side, the rushing defense continues to be a major problem for us. In this league, if you can' t stop the run, you' re not going to be very successful. " Denver never trailed fairmont sonoma mission inn spa after taking the opening kickoff and moving 69 yards in just over 2 1/ 2 minutes. Four plays after Portis broke off a 25- yard run, Plummer faked a handoff and hit Droughns for a 12- yard touchdown. The Chargers got the ensuing kickoff and drove to the Broncos' 1- yard line before settling for a 19- yard field goal by Steve Christie. Denver wasted no time making it two touchdowns in as many possessions, covering 88 yards in seven plays and less than five minutes.
Five plays later, Plummer rolled right and found Sharpe in the front of the end zone for a one- yard TD. Plummer injured his shoulder while running for a first down on 4th- and- 1 at the Chargers' 5. It kept alive a drive he capped with a six- yard TD toss to wide- open Cooper Carlisle on a tackle- eligible play. " We had a guy assigned to cover him, but the guy did not cover him, " Schottenheimer said. " It' s part of the growing process. We know what we need to do. " San Diego grabbed the momentum with an 80- yard drive and got within 21- 10 when Drew Brees floated a 23- yard pass to Eric Parker with 65 seconds to go in the second quarter. But Beuerlein replaced Plummer and marched the Broncos 56 yards in a minute, completing passes of 18 yards to Rod Smith and 25 yards to Ashley Lelie that set up Elam' s 30- yard field goal just before the break. " It' s more of what we' re doing wrong, " cornerback Sammy Davis said of the Chargers' porous pass defense. " We' re killing ourselves pretty much.
They have good athletes, I can' t lie about that. But this is more about what we' re not doing and the calls we' re not getting. " Beuerlein was 7- of- 16 for 98 yards, including a 26- yard strike midway through the third quarter to Sharpe, who turned and made a one- handed grab at the San Diego 3. Anderson fairmont sonoma mission inn spa waltzed up the middle from the 1 three plays later to give Denver a 31- 13 cushion. " It was my time to step up and make a play, " Sharpe fairmont sonoma mission inn spa said. " In practice, I practice catching one- handed. My position coach doesn' t like it, but it paid off today.
I just stuck out my hand and the ball stuck
