December 10, 1966: Virginia Tech got into the spirit of playing in the Liberty Bowl by utilizing the seldom used Statue of Liberty play; some old school quick kicks; and a no-huddle offense, which was highly unconventional at the time. These strategies and a tight defense, headed by Hall of Fame safety Frank Loria, held ninth ranked Miami (FL) to 16 yards of total offense in the first half. But Miami defensive end and Hall of Famer Ted Hendricks did an equally great job in stopping the Hokie offense, and the Hurricanes prevailed for a 14-7 victory in Memphis. Miami finished 8-2-1 with a No. 9 ranking while the Hokies also turned in an 8-2-1 record.
