EA Sports Virtual Playoff Simulation - Holiday Bowl

#12 Arizona State 38 - #5 Virginia Tech 12

ASU started with a boom and on the opening drive of the game Ryan Torain scored on a
59-yard run.  They continued to build their lead in the 2nd quarter with help from
their offense, defense, and special teams – scoring on an 8-yard pass from Rudy
Carpenter to Michael Jones, 23 yard fumble return by linebacker Mike Nixon, and a
98 kickoff return by Michael Jones.  At halftime the ASU held the edge 28-6 over
Virginia Tech.  The Hookies tried to get things going on the ground but to no avail
averaging only about 2 yards per carry.  Though Tech scored again in the 3rd
quarter the game was closed out when Justin Tryon intercepted a pass and took it
back to the house for 103 yards.
