Russell Athletic Bowl Tickets

The 2012 Russell Athletic Bowl features two teams looking to cap off their sub-par season with a Bowl victory. Though Virginia Tech only managed a 6-6 season record, the Hokies will be entering the Russell Athletic Bowl against Rutgers in their 20^th consecutive season to play in a bowl game. The Scarlet Knights surpassed all expectations as first year Coach Kyle Flood led the team to a 7-0 start. Even though the loss to Louisville kept them from the school’s first ever BCS bid, ending the season on a high note with a win in Orlando could ensure great things come next year.
