Hokies dominate on both sides of the ball for 38-6 victory over Wofford

Virginia Tech football dominated Wofford, 38-6, securing their first victory of the season.

Virginia Tech’s defense forced two consecutive three-and-outs, including a sack on Wofford’s Jayden Whitaker by Weak-Side Linebacker Michael Short, to open the game. Using the momentum on the defensive stops, quarterback Kyron Drones completed his third first down pass of the drive, a 21-yarder to Cameron Sheldon inside the red zone, to set up Braydon Bennett’s three-yard rush for the touchdown at 6:26. The extra point from John Love made it a 7-0 game to close out the first quarter.

The Hokies offense remained explosive to open a 21-0 advantage with 6:24 remaining in the first half. Drones found wide receiver Devin Alves (11:54) for the 19-yard reception and Alves needed to rush just three to find the end zone for his first career touchdown. In an eight-play drive, Ayden Greene became Tech’s third touchdown scorer of the afternoon, running into the endzone after an 18-yard reception. Between the VT scoring drives, defensive tackle Kemari Copeland forced a Terrier turnover with his first career interception. Wofford would go on to kick a field goal in the final minute to close to 21-3.

Virginia Tech found the end zone twice more in the second half alongside a Love 20-yard field goal. Drones crossed the goal line both times for the Hokies. Wofford’s second field goal of the game was sandwiched between the Hokies scores for a 38-6 VT victory.

The Hokies begin ACC play next week at NC State on Saturday, September 27 at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. and the game can be heard on 103.3 FM WESR.
