Of the 95 games played in Miles Stadium, Virginia Tech won 66, lost 25, and tied 4; the most memorable win was arguably the October 24, 1964 defeat of Florida State University. Florida State was ranked #10 in the nation and was the highest ranked team defeated at Miles Stadium. Virginia Tech did not defeat a higher ranked team until the University of Texas was bested in the Sugar Bowl on December 31, 1995. Miles Stadium was named for Clarence P. "Sally" Miles, Virginia Tech class of 1901, former director of athletics, graduate athletic manager, professor, and dean. Virginia Tech's Miles Dormitory is also named for C.P. Miles.
