Comment on ODU shocks No. 13 Hokies

NORFOLK, Va. — Blake LaRussa came off the bench to throw for 495 yards and four touchdowns to lead Old Dominion to a 49-35 upset of No. 13 Virginia Tech on Saturday in the Hokies' first game at the cross-state school that restarted its football program in 2009. LaRussa, who entered the game on ODU's second series, completed 30 of 49 passes and rushed for a touchdown to lead the 28½-point underdog Monarchs (1-3) to a stunning win over the Hokies (2-1). Jeremy Cox's 40-yard touchdown run with 1:34 remaining sealed the biggest win in program history.
