Seems about right. #Hokies outgained Pitt by more than 200 yards. A minus-4 turnover ratio is no way to go through life.

On another glance at a high angle, that kick really didn't look like it went through.

More on that, plus costly mistakes, a more glaring bad call (in my opinion), Grunkemeyer's arm talent and what's ahead for the #Hokies in my 5 Thoughts column:

That field goal was good! #Hokies

That kick was good!! Or was it?! Ehh ... it's really tough to tell. What's certain is what was on the scoreboard afterward: Pitt 35, Virginia Tech 33.

My column on Friday's controversial finish and a #Hokies FG attempt that'll be talked about for years:

Franklin explains why the #Hokies lost: "Since the beginning of time: turnovers and explosive plays. ... It came back to bite us."

Franklin said John Love typically likes his kicks from the right side or right-middle. That's why the #Hokies ran a few times to that side at the end.

James Franklin is here for the post-game presser after the #Hokies' 35-33 loss to Pitt: "Everybody's going to focus on the last play. We're going to watch this tape and there's 20 plays that we could have made to change the game."

I’ve often wondered why goal post uprights aren’t taller. Or at least have some kind of sensors going straight up. Feels like this one will be debated for a while. #Hokies

Hooked it to the left. Love went to the officials afterward, arguing he made it. No dice. Ballgame. #Hokies

Ethan Grunkemeyer has 404 yards passing tonight. Joins Bryan Randall (504, Syracuse, 2002) and Jerod Evans (406, Pitt, 2016) as only #Hokies QBs to do it since 1987.

Hawkins with some tough yards on third-and-2, gets to the sticks. First-and-10 #Hokies at their own 41. A Pitt player is down with 2:02 left in the game.

Wow. Strange playcall on third-and-3. Overton loses two and the #Hokies will punt it away.

Bad bounce on a not-great punt that goes just 26 yards. #Hokies will start this possession at their 35.

#Hokies decline a holding penalty on second down to bring up a third-and-15. A checkdown gets just 2. Pitt will punt it to Tech.
