The Hokies began the 2012 season with a Monday night game in Lane Stadium against the Yellow Jackets, which resulted in an overtime victory for the home team. After the Hokies took a 14-10 lead off of a 42-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Logan Thomas, the Yellow Jackets thought they had the game won when they answered with a touchdown of their own with 44 seconds remaining. However, Thomas took the Hokies 51 yards in six plays and kicker Cody Journell made the game-tying 41-yard field goal with no time remaining. In overtime, defensive back Kyle Fuller intercepted the Yellow Jackets’ opening possession and Journell ended the game with a 17-yard field goal.
