The defense dialed up pressure at the right time, Ethan Grunkemeyer took a lickin' and keeps on tickin', the aftermath of the failed fake punt set the tone and more.
It's five thoughts the day after the #Hokies' win at Clemson:

Play for OT or go for the win? The #Hokies chose the latter in the final minutes at Clemson on Saturday, dialing up a perfect goal-line play to Luke Reynolds.
It gave James Franklin his first signature win at VT. My column from Death Valley:

So long, Death Valley. Let’s hope it’s not another 14 years until the #Hokies come back.

#Hokies WR Que'Sean Brown on how open TE Luke Reynolds got on the touchdown play at the end: "That was a little surprising. C’mon, now. You can’t leave that man open!"
Franklin on the win at Clemson: "I don't think we've won here since 2007. To me, that speaks volumes." #Hokies
Franklin: "You can say whatever you want about Grunk; you can't question his toughness." #Hokies
Franklin on the offense: "We've got to be more consistent. It was either like three-and-out or 15-play drives." #hokies
Franklin on the defense: "It wasn't always pretty, but we made critical plays at critical moments." #Hokies
Franklin on the Luke Reynolds TD play at the end: "Good scheme and throwing it to a good player." #Hokies
James Franklin said it entered his mind at the end to kick the FG to tie near the end on fourth-and-1. Ultimately went for it.
"I just felt like fourth-and-1 was as good of a situation as we were going to get." #Hokies
Clemson didn't even look at Luke Reynolds off the line here. Incredible. #Hokies
Virginia Tech pulls out a thrilling 20-16 win at Clemson, its first win against the Tigers since 2007.
Luke Reynolds had two touchdowns, including the game-winner from 5 yards out with 1:44 left.
#Hokies improve to 6-2 overall and 3-2 in the ACC. An off week is up next.
Mylachi Williams and Jaquez White were there for the sack. #Hokies brought a couple of CB blitzes on that last drive.
