 Virginia Tech began the fourth quarter in possession of the ball with a first down at its 30 @-@ yard line . The Hokie drive fizzled , as had most of the offense in the third quarter , after DeShazo was sacked for a big loss on third down . Indiana returned the Tech punt to its 43 @-@ yard line , and Indiana brought in its backup quarterback , Chris Dittoe , to lead the offense . After being sacked on his first play , Dittoe completed a pass to near midfield , making up the yardage that had been lost on the sack . Despite that gain , Indiana couldn 't make up the yardage lost to the sack and appeared to be ready to punt the ball . Instead , the Hoosiers faked the punt and threw a pass to an undefended Indiana player who dropped the ball . Following the turnover , Virginia Tech 's offense started work at the Indiana 49 @-@ yard line . After being stopped short on two rushes , DeShazo completed a 42 @-@ yard pass to Antonio Freeman , who raced down the field and into the end zone . The extra point was good , and with 9 : 37 remaining in the game , Tech took a 35 – 13 lead .
