I was cheering for Tulane, but Virginia Tech look like they came ready to play today and they aren’t playing around. Congratulations Virginia Tech on their bowl game!!!
@@Eli-Hokiesfandunno why not… they did nothing this season but get better each game and the big plays compounded over time. They locked up all of their portal eligible players, so this team is gunna be together another year. Gunna be fun to watch them next season.
Virginia Tech under the radar has an opportunity to have a nice season next year. 21 of 22 starters coming back and warded off the portal taking key guys. A sign of solid culture these days. This year, 3 of their losses were by 1 possession and they weren’t mathematically eliminated from a spot in the ACC Championship until November. They aren’t that far off. Next years schedule is also somewhat friendly for them. They do not play the teams who finished in the Top 3 in the ACC (FSU, Lville, NCST) and are not one of the ACC schools who play Notre Dame either. They do draw Clemson at home though and Miami on the road. Non-conference schedule At Vanderbilt, home to Marshall, At Old Dominion, home to Rutgers. I’m not saying they’re a lock to go 4-0 in the non-con but at the same time those are 4 winnable games for a team that returns 21 of 22 starters. I’m curious where Vegas puts their preseaosn over/under win total. This year it was 5.5 with the over hitting. For those who partake in betting this could be a very attractive future play on the over depending on where Vegas puts the number.
Tech has a very solid shot at a 10 win season. Pry so far has done a good job at writing the mistakes of Fuente. And making the Hokies look like the Hokies of the 2000’s that were top 25 teams competitive in the Acc and had a shot at bcs games
@spencersmith3929 @fatpowerful Looking back at my earlier comment looks like fanduel has their over/under win total at 7.5 I think that’s fair….I lean the over on that and feel pretty good about it. I think their ceiling is 10 wins and their floor is 7. So, basically I feel like their floor or “worst case scenario” needs to happen for the under to hit. As long as they stay healthy I see no reason why they can’t get at least 8+ wins for that over to hit.
Tulane had a great season, but they lost the conference championship game and now this bowl game, the year definitely didn’t end in their favor. Congratulations to VT 💯💯💯
I was there! Very rainy. But for my first ever football game to be a bowl game in row 2 on the 35 was definitely a great experience to root for one of our DMV teams for the win! Go Hokies!
They’ll be making a lot of statements for the draft, VT hasn’t been this talent deep for a long time. We get our best wr back Ali Jennings - NFL bound. APR is back - top edge NFL bound. Tuten is back- top RB- NFL bound. Drones, Lane, Jenkins, tisdale, strong, Lawson, Kendricks, Felton, etc all coming back and most off a strong season will be NFL bound. 2024 will be a fun year

Kyron Drones started out his first drive of the game fumbling the ball which was returned for a TD by Tulane. After that play, I bet he had most of Virginia Tech football nation (fans, coaches, players, and media) cursing his name and existence. But he turns around and ends up winning game MVP honors. Talk about redemption!!!
Good for former Tulane Head Coach Willie Fritz that he got the head coaching job at Houston. That man, his staff, and his players for the last two years REALLY turned around Green Wave football. But the team he left behind didn't play like the Tulane that we all know.
Good win by VT, Drones is a monster. Tulane? Anyone see them? The team that went 11-2 either beat a bunch of awful schools, or just plain didn't show up on a really ugly weather day. Fun to watch though, and the announcers behind the mics were far worse than anything Tulane coughed up today. All in all an entertaining experience.
Tulane was legit regular season. A ton of Tulane's starters opted out of the bowl game including Tulane's NFL bound QB. Still a solid win for the Hokies.
Ooof, looked like every player on Tulane was at least 20 lbs lighter than the player in their position in VTech. Just couldn't outlast the physicality by the bigger team.
After the initial scare tactic by the Green Wave defense which frightened the Hokie Quarterback into a fumble, 😱 the Virginia Tech Team stormed 🌩️⚡⛈️⚡ back to Shock 😲 Tulane and drown their winning hopes in deep 💦 🌊 water 🌊!! ☔☔🌧️

Yeah… it was a toss up between a face mask or a horse collar. Dude said… “oops, got him by the facemask… lemme get my moneys worth for this foul.” They decided on the facemask call.
Tulane had seven players opt out due to NFL prep or transfer portal-- three offensive (2 starters, QB and Guard), and four Defensive (none were starters)...
This is why you don't let group 5 teams play power 5 teams in a bowl game. I know they beat usc last year but please, they're terribad. Feel sorry for liberty
At 7:49 in the video the VT receiver clearly stepped out of bounds at the 10 yard line with the official looking right at it but he spotted the ball at the 5
USC had 24 players sit Holiday Bowl. We are approaching the end of Bowl Games because of NIL and the portal. Players who scarifice for the team all their college sport tenur will be pooped on by players headed for a pro oppurtunity when the bowl game comes. Why sacrifice
Haven’t watched Tulane all year but it looks like they had 7 players Opt. out of the Bowl game including the starting QB and backup QB as well as the leading WR. Also the head coach just left to take over Houston.
Nope. In 2022 and 2023 they were legit but opt outs in a bowl game, losing your head coach and some of his assistants (game plan change and etc.), shitty weather, and a down for whatever opponent (VT in this case) can affect any team.

Such a rainy day. I will be horse for a week but it was worth it. Go hokies. Also Tulane fans are awesome. Great fans. Thanks for making the trip
Kyron Drones had a gorgeous game he had 91 passing Yards and 2 touchdowns and 176 Rushing yards and 1 touchdown.🏈
He looked pedestrian. Just ok. Don't go crazy.
@@Redmenace96😂 you're right, he only dominated and took the game over.
@@thomastrain7311 and he's only been doing that since week 5, not sure what that guy is talking about drones is the real deal
Brent Pry is that dude!
Hokies really showed how far they’ve come just this season alone. With the schedule next year, they should be taken as a threat.
A threat for what exactly?
A threat in the acc and then next the cfp
@@ChristopherSmart_54 I’d agree. Miami and Clemson are their only tough opponents

I was there in person for the military bowl.
11:05 Niiiiiice!!
Salute to Tulane. They definitely made their presence known in the conference
I found it funny that Tulane was a 13-point favorite and then got blown out. LOLOLOL
Coach Pry is following in Beamers foot steps. Look how beamer started coaching at Tech and you will understand. Lets GO HOKIES
It’s not how you start, is how you finished. Football is a sport you can be beaten any giving day or time.
How was there not a sideline view??
It was held at Marine Corps stadium at Annapolis and it doesn't have enough space for it. It is a small stadium
Football weather. Hokies were molded by these conditions
So Tulane came in ranked and 11-2 and played a 6-6 team from a power 5 conference. If Tulane played in the Big 12 every week they would get smacked
Would’ve been handy if the majority of their starters didn’t opt out. Not saying a full strength Tulane wins this but they’d keep it close

Tulane missing their QB killed their game plan...
Controversial: TD score or Fumble in Endzone?
Naw , He broke the plane before he lost it
11:25 Isn't that a facemask? Did the refs call it?
Yeah… it was a toss up between a face mask or a horse collar. Dude said… “oops, got him by the facemask… lemme get my moneys worth for this foul.” They decided on the facemask call.
Silly Kickoff at the end of the 1st half but then might as well be kneed...
Military bowl games should be played by Military teams, Airforce, Navy and Army
Yeah and the poptart bowl should only be played by Strawberry, Cinnamon and Smores. The academies also play during the season

You leave him alone!!
You’re not getting him. He said him self he loves the way VT does things
He can't transfer this season anyway. Already came to VT from Baylor. Would have to graduate before another transfer possibility.
They changed the transfer portal rule again. Players can transfer yearly without having to sit out/graduate.@@ThoughtWord
No
11:08 After catch should have been face mask call, The tulane cornerback yanked the VT players helmet. Good game anyway.
