The 2004 Virginia Tech Hokies football team won the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship in its inaugural year in the conference, running off a streak of eight straight wins to end the regular season after a 2-2 start. Tech finished 10th in the final Associated Press poll with a 10-3 record. The team's head coach was Frank Beamer, who was named ACC Coach of the Year.〔http://www.theacc.com/sports/m-footbl/10accfbguide.html〕 Virginia Tech began the season unranked nationally, having suffered a meltdown at the end of the 2003 season. The Hokies faced a daunting schedule, beginning with a nationally-televisioned game against the defending national co-champion USC Trojans. That game, known as the BCA Classic, was the first NCAA college football game of the year, and would be followed by a tough conference schedule. Tech lost to eventual BCS National Champion USC at FedEx Field in Landover, MD, 24-13,〔http://www.hokiesports.com/football/stats/showstats.html?6005〕 losing the lead late in the third quarter. After a 63-0 shellacking of Western Michigan,〔http://www.hokiesports.com/football/stats/showstats.html?6006〕 Tech played its first ever ACC game on September 18, against Duke. Tech prevailed 41-17〔http://www.hokiesports.com/football/stats/showstats.html?6007〕 in Lane Stadium.〔http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=242620259 retrieved November 28, 2010〕 The Hokies dropped to 2-2 following a 17-16 home loss to N.C. State, in which the Hokies missed a would-be winning field goal as time expired. The team then needed to win five of its next eight games to extend its 11-season streak of playing in a post-season bowl game. After reeling off three-straight wins, including a 19-13〔http://www.hokiesports.com/football/stats/showstats.html?6009〕 squeaker over then #7 West Virginia, the Hokies' fortunes looked bleak in the fourth quarter of their game against Georgia Tech in Atlanta on ESPN Thursday night college football. Tech was down 14-0 at one point and trailed 20-12 with 5:28 left in the fourth quarter. Tech racked up 22 unanswered points to exterminate the Yellow Jackets.〔http://www.hokiesports.com/football/sugarbowl05.mg.pdf , p. 63, retrieved November 28, 2010.〕 Tech would go on to win their remaining regular-season games, including a 24-10〔http://www.hokiesports.com/football/stats/showstats.html?6015〕 win over then #16 Virginia in Lane Stadium and a 16-10〔http://www.hokiesports.com/football/stats/showstats.html?6016〕 away victory over then #9 Miami, to clinch the ACC Championship. As ACC Champions, Virginia Tech was awarded a bid to the 2005 Sugar Bowl, a Bowl Championship Series game in New Orleans, Louisiana. Virginia Tech faced Auburn, a team that had gone undefeated in the regular season but was denied a bid to the national championship game by virtue of its lower rank in the BCS poll. In a game that was not decided until the final two minutes,〔"Auburn 16, Virginia Tech 13", January 3, 2005. Hokiesports.com () — Accessed July 21, 2007.〕 Virginia Tech lost to Auburn 16-13. Tech was led by quarterback Bryan Randall during the season. Randall was named ACC player of the Year.〔 ==Schedule== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2004 Virginia Tech Hokies football team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
