Virginia Tech is having a brutal Saturday at home against Furman, which went up 14-3 in the second quarter, and Hokies fans are not having it.

A wave of fans simply got up and left the stadium after the Paladins went up by two scores.

Fans are pouring out of Lane Stadium with 5:35 left in the 2nd Quarter. Furman leads the #Hokies 14-3.

I’m leaving too. Got better things to do than watch my favorite football program die right in front of me. Be good, #Blacksburg.

The Hokies fans that did stay made sure to let their team know how displeased they were about this performance. Boos were prevalent in the second quarter, and the Hokies were booed right off the field at halftime.

Furman leads the #Hokies 14-3 at halftime with a moderate amount of boos and a lot of students already gone.

Absolutely awful first half for the offense. Defense is the only reason why Furman is only up 14-3 at this point

It’s not hard to understand why Hokies fans are so upset. Virginia Tech entered Saturday’s game favored to win by 21 points. Furthermore, the school paid Furman a hefty sum to come to Blacksburg.

Furman goes up on Virginia Tech 7-3, early in the second quarter. The Hokies are paying Furman $420,000 for this game.

That’s just embarrassing.
