Brother of Old Dominion QB sends awesome tweet after upset win
The Old Dominion Monarchs pulled off the shocker of the week and possibly the season on Saturday, upsetting No. 13 Virginia Tech 49-35 to get their first win of the season in remarkably unlikely fashion.
Quarterback Blake LaRussa was a big part of the win, and his proud brother took to Twitter after the victory to make a pretty inspiring statement.
They told my little bro he couldn't play D1. Blake LaRussa took a walk-on spot, earned a scholarship, and just upset #13 #Hokies with 494 passing yards and 4 TDs. Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do. #CollegeFootball pic.twitter.com/9R7vhZK263

Amazingly, LaRussa didn’t even start the game, entering for the second series. From there, he went 30-for-49 for 495 yards and four touchdowns and no interceptions, shocking the country in the process. It’s easy to root for a storyline like that unless you’re a Hokie fan.
