That touchdown came with less than a minute remaining in the first half. It gave Virginia Tech a 20-10 lead to take into the break in Blacksburg.
Holloway is close to breaking Virginia Tech’s single-game record for punt return yards in an outing. He needs just 25 yards in the second half to pass Antonio Freeman for the program record.
Pretty good company here at the top for single-game punt return yards in #Hokies history. I like Holloway's chances of breaking the record. pic.twitter.com/WCAA4DFhbD

Virginia Tech is still battling for possible bowl eligibility. However, the Hokies would need to win-out in order to reach the postseason. They still have games remaining vs. Duke, Liberty and Virginia.
