Grand Finale?
Vick had 225 total yards and two touchdowns in the Gator Bowl win. In what might be his last collegiate appearance, Michael Vick did not disappoint in the Gator Bowl. The Hokies' quarterback got Virginia Tech on the board in a hurry, throwing a 23-yard TD just 1:37 into the game. He ran in for another score later in the first quarter, leading the Hokies to a 41-20 win over Clemson. Running back Lee Suggs made it almost impossible for the Tigers to catch up, finishing with 73 yards on 20 carries and three TDs.

"I think I speak for ALL VT fans when I say, "Thank you." I like Bowden and Dantzler a lot. ... Good game, Tigers. I could have sworn Vick changed into a #1 Clemson jersey at times ..."
