Bird 2001 Virginia Tech Gator Bowl Guide 3 2000 Season Review Hokies Exceed Expectations Again As a Group of New Heroes Emerge Heading into the 2000 football season, most people thought the Hokies would have a pretty good year. With quarterback Michael Vick back to lead the way, most predicted an 8-3 season, or at best, 9-2. What most didn’t count on was the emergence of new heroes, both on offense and defense. These new stars have helped the Hokies turn a rebuilding season into a 10-1 campaign which has landed them in the Toyota Gator Bowl. Playing in yet another bowl and a No. 5 national ranking has brought heightened attention to the Tech program, but the Hokies aren’t new to the national spotlight. After last year’s run at the title game and now its eighth consecutive bowl, Tech is becoming a regular near the top of the college football world. The national attention and coverage aren’t exactly new, and Tech’s bowl opponent — Jake Houseright (41) and Ben Taylor (40) nail a ballcarrier in Tech’s win over ECU. Clemson — isn’t either. The two schools have met 27 one of the greatest seasons No. 11 by The Associated Vick sparked the Hokies as times on the gridiron with the in their 107-year history.

    Former Hokie Michael Vick, the first player picked in the 2001 NFL Draft, is scheduled to take over the starting quarterback duties for the Atlanta Falcons in 2002. Special Teams are an integral part of Hokie football and one of the units is called “Pride and Joy.” These NFL players are also a source of pride and joy due to their commitment to Virginia Tech on and off the field. Virginia Tech has recently constructed a display in the Hall of Legends in the Merryman Athletic Center to honor such former players. John Engelberger was a dominating defensive end who went from walk-on to four-year starter at Tech, to second-round NFL Draft pick, earning All-America honors and his college degree along the way. Waddy Harvey was a standout who started three seasons at defensive tackle and won the coveted Williams Award for leadership and character before joining the Buffalo Bills. Frank and Cheryl Beamer sponsored Harvey for recognition on the Pride and Joy display. Before starting an NFL career, Jim Pyne, a powerful center in the early 1990s, started 41 games and allowed just one sack in over 2,700 snaps on his way to becoming the Hokies’ first unanimous All-American. Michael Vick was an electrifying quarterback who made a lasting impact on college football while helping Virginia Tech to a national championship game and back-to-back 11-1 seasons before becoming the top NFL pick in 2001. Jim Pyne was the first player chosen overall in the NFL’s 1998 expansion draft. Tech Players in the Pros The following former Hokies are either presently playing or have played in the National Football League or the United States Football League: (players in bold were active as of June 25, 2002) Larry Austin ..................
