As for the Hokies...oy. You could argue that Virginia Tech and the officials gave Michigan all 23 of its points. The first touchdown came after a roughing-the-punter penalty; the first field goal was off of a kick-return fumble. The second touchdown was off an interception; the second field goal came after the botched fake punt. And if it hadn't been for the officials overturning Tech's overtime touchdown, Michigan wouldn't have been able to kick a field goal in overtime -- the Wolverines would've needed a touchdown. Losses don't get more brutal than that.
