BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Michael Brewer kept getting knocked to the turf, kept getting up, and would not let Virginia Tech lose.The quarterback, maligned much of this season for inexplicable interceptions, threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Bucky Hodges with 1:48 remaining Friday night and Virginia Tech beat Virginia for the 11th year in a row, 24-20."We knew that this would be a tough one, that we would have to kind of ride the waves to get through this," Brewer said after throwing for 235 yards and two touchdowns. "They were good defensively and they were able to get pressure on the passer. They've done it to everybody all year, so I knew I was going to take some shots, but it was one of those deals where as long as we could get back up and keep moving forward and not shoot ourselves in the foot, we'd be all right."Once the Hokies (6-6, 3-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) sacked Matt Johns on fourth down, their second victory in six games was secured, and qualified them for a bowl game for the 22nd year in a row.
