American college football season
The 1999 Virginia Tech Hokies football team represented Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season . Virginia Tech competed as a member of the Big East Conference . The Hokies were led by Frank Beamer in his 13th year as head coach. Virginia Tech finished the season 11-1, the only blemish coming in a national championship game loss to the Florida State Seminoles . The team finished with a school-record 2nd-place ranking in the Associated Press poll.
Michael Vick led the Hokies to an 11–0 start, only the second perfect regular season in school history, and to the Bowl Championship Series national title game in the Sugar Bowl against Florida State . Although Virginia Tech lost 46–29, Vick was able to bring the team back from a 21-point deficit to take a 29–28 lead into the fourth quarter. During the season, Vick appeared on the cover of an ESPN The Magazine
Vick led the NCAA in passing efficiency that year, setting a record for a freshman (180.4), which was also good enough for the third-highest all-time mark. Vick was awarded an ESPY Award as the nation's top college player, and won the first-ever Archie Griffin Award as college football's most valuable player . He was invited to the 1999 Heisman Trophy presentation and finished third in the voting behind Ron Dayne and Joe Hamilton . Vick's third-place finish matched the highest finish ever by a freshman up to that point, first set by Herschel Walker in 1980 (Adrian Peterson later broke that mark, finishing second in 2004 ).

Virginia Tech's defense set a school record, allowing only 63 yards of total offense, leading the Hokies over visiting University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) 31-10. Tech played without starting quarterback Michael Vick, who was relieved by Dave Meyer. Meyer threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Emmitt Johnson on the first series of the game to give Tech the lead it would never relinquish. However, before halftime, he turned the ball over four times, three interceptions and a fumble. Those turnovers enabled the Blazers to stay in the game, and Tech led by 17-10 at halftime thanks to a 22-yard field goal by Shayne Graham and a one-yard touchdown by Shyrone Stith. The lead remained at seven points until early in the fourth quarter when tailback Andre Kendrick threw a 35-yard option touchdown pass to Andre Davis. Lee Suggs capped the scoring with a one-yard touchdown jaunt with 2:07 left in the game, one of only four carries he had on the day. Stith led the Hokies with 129 rushing yards and Kendrick added 44 yards rushing to his passing touchdown. Corey Moore had three sacks for 27 yards and two tackles for loss for another three yards.

Virginia Tech led the entire way in this Thursday night ESPN contest, but needed two late scores by the defense to seal the win. The Hokies jumped out to a 14-0 lead during a two-minute span from the end of the first to the beginning of the second quarters when Shyrone Stith capped a drive with a three-yard run, putting them ahead 7-0 with 1:12 left in the first quarter. On their next possession, Virginia Tech quickly extended their lead. Freshman quarterback Michael Vick, playing for the first time since his first half injury against JMU, gained 31 yards on an option play, setting the stage for backup tailback Andre Kendrick to score on a 24-yard run. Clemson got on the board for the first time with a 27-yard field goal by Chris Campbell to make the half-time lead 14-3 Tech. The Tigers cut the Tech lead to a field goal when it ran a fake field goal from the Tech nine with place kicker Tony Lazzara passing to running back Vince Ciurciu. Clemson then converted a two-point attempt with a pass from quarterback Brandon Streeter to Jason LeMay, making the score 14-11. Shayne Graham gave the Hokie a six-point lead with five minutes left in the game before the country's top-ranked defense came through for the Hokies. First, Ike Charlton intercepted a pass and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown. Shortly afterward, All-American player Moore stripped the ball from the Clemson quarterback, recovered it, and ran 32 yards to score another touchdown, the first of his career. Tech piled up 285 rushing yards led by Stith's 162 yards and Vick's 60 yards. The Hokie "D" allowed only 221 yards, with only a net of 17 on the ground. Moore had two tackles for loss and two sacks while Jamel Smith led the team with 11 total tackles, including seven solo efforts.
