Virginia Tech player trucks ODU fan after suffering shocking upset

Published:
Virginia Tech suffered a shocking 20-17 upset to in-state program Old Dominion University Friday night.
New Hokies head coach Brent Pry certainly has a tough job ahead of him rebuilding an exhausted program. Nothing went right for the Hokies Friday night. The second half was delayed due to Virginia Tech coaches being stuck in the elevator.
Then, the Hokies proceeded to lose. Quarterback Grant Wells threw 4 interceptions and the Hokies lost another fumble to total 5 turnovers.
Teams aren’t going to win many games with 5 turnovers no matter which team it is playing.
After the game, ODU fans rushed the field after taking down the in-state giant, and one ODU fan got in the way of a Virginia Tech player and paid the price.

This is a major reason why fans usually aren’t allowed to rush the field. There’s a major risk for injury for players, coaches and fans after games.
