RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver said Tuesday that his administration was embarrassed by Marcus Vick's unsportsmanlike conduct in the Gator Bowl on Monday and that the incident will be reviewed and dealt with.
Vick, the Hokies junior quarterback and younger brother of NFL star Michael Vick, stomped on the left calf of NCAA sacks leader Elvis Dumervil of Louisville when Dumervil lay prone on the ground after tackling Vick in the second quarter of the game in Jacksonville, Fla. Vick said later it was an accident, but his version was not supported by video replays shown widely since. After the play, Vick seems to pause before walking across Dumervil's leg.
Vick was not penalized on the play, but was rebuked at halftime by quarterbacks coach Kevin Rogers, who said he even considered pulling Vick from the lineup.

That was a real smash mouth game. Phantom interference call at the end but then again, I saw a Miami guy grab a jersey on a 3rd down play late in the game that would have allowed OSU to get a 1st down and run the game out if it had been called.
Next year their D will be excellent but offensively they are going to be thin. Oh well, I have never been a Thug U. fan anyway.
yeah.
And before the PI, they let OSU convert a 4th and 14 as well and they also got the ball back afterward.
I'll just bet he did. Snort.
You talking about the same tough Hokies that got embarrassed in the ACC championship, forcing me to watch Free Shoes Univeristy in the Orage Bowl?
Amazing. I would have sworn that was West Virginia that I watched beat Georgia.
I watched the Hokies and Cardinals tangle, but didn't see the play in question.
We ran out of time. VT has trouble with good aggressive defenses
What people forget is that Marcus wasn't raised as a QB. He was a receiver. He's a better receiver than a QB.
I don't know why this comes as any surprise, even his own brother has expressed frustration with this spoiled POS.
FSU has some D working for them but offensively they have sucked since the 2000 season.
DAMN!!!
Blatantly done. He should have been pulled from the game. He needs to be suspended for the first three games of next season.
He may have just cost himself millions as well.
Sorry, but it looked like a stomp to me.
Hold your palominos! ELWAY is "solely responsible?" Did Elway load up the Mayflower vans in a blizzard and lead a convoy to Indiana?
WADR, you're full of it. Robert Irsay, following the lead of Al Davis, took a thriving franchise from its loyal fans for greener pa$ture$. He should saddle the blame alone. But what Irsay did couldn't have been so awful, because when Art Modell pulled an Irsay and moved the Browns from the largest NFL venue to Baltimore, the city shamelessly licked his toes and coughed up public cash for a new palace.
No municipality should be extorted for taxpayer cash, and I say that as a diehard fan of the San Francisco Giants, who were given up for dead and gone after Bay Area voters denied them publicly-funded stadiums three times. The Giants ownership finally built their own jewel of a ballpark, and now draw 3 million in attendance annually; it used to be headline news if they broke 1 million.
Quit whining. At least Baltimore got a Super Bowl victory out of it (with a QB that couldn't shine Elway's shoes). That's more than Indianapolis has gotten.
Yeah...Michael Vick is also over-rated. Everytime I hear him talk he sounds so dumb and not articulate. Donovan McNabb is a better QB , smarter and more class. Just my opinion.
Yea, I like how Michael Vick came out in public in November and said he was the best QB in the NFL. They must have had a 2 game win streak going at the time
He knew exactly what he was doing to whom. Maybe you're thinking of a different play?
