Kyron Drones threw a touchdown pass, rushed for a score, and caught a touchdown pass to lead Virginia Tech. Drones accounted for 132 yards from scrimmage for the Hokies, who amassed a season-low 233 total yards but won their third straight game.
“However it needs to happen, I think today was an example of that,” Virginia Tech coach Brent Pry said. “We talk about complementary ball for our team. We found a way to score some points, we punted the ball well and flipped the field, and we made plays defensively when we needed to stop drives.”
Georgia Tech struggled offensively without injured starting quarterback Haynes King, who missed his second straight game. The Yellow Jackets finished with 356 total yards in losing their second straight game.
Georgia Tech started Zach Pyron at quarterback, but Pyron was ineffective against Virginia Tech’s defense, completing just 10 of 22 for 76 yards and an interception.
Virginia Tech trailed 3-0 early in the game, but Drones got the Hokies on the board with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Benji Gosnell in the second quarter that gave Virginia Tech the lead and it never trailed again. Drones caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Jaylin Lane later in the quarter and added a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
Drones completed 16 of 27 for 128 yards and added 6 yards rushing.
The Hokies’ defense has given up just 34 points in this three-game winning streak and carried the team on a day when the offense played inconsistently. With one more win, the Hokies will be bowl eligible for the second straight season.

The Virginia Tech Hokies have 11 league titles and six division championships. Frank Beamer elevated the program into a national contender during his time as head coach from 1987 through 2015. Beamer turned an obscure program into a national brand.
Beamer is the all time winningest coach at Virginia Tech with 249 wins and 23 bowl games. In 1999, Beamer led the Hokies to an 11-1 record and a final national ranking of 2nd. It was the greatest campaign in Hokie history. From 1993 through 2011, The Hokies finished in the national Top 25 every year but three. During that span, Virginia Tech finished in the Top 10 seven times. In 2018, Beamer was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Bill Dooley was Beamer’s predecessor and had success as well, with three bowl games and winning records in his final seven seasons.
Some of the Virginia Tech legends include Frankj Loria, Jim Pyne, Bruce Smith, Carroll Dale, Michael Vick, Core Moore, Cornell Brown, and Jake Grove.
Of great concern is that since 2011, the Hokies have only four Top 25 finishes. But current head coach Brent Pry coached under Beamer and knows the special potential of the program. In 2023, Pry led the Hokies to a Military Bowl win, sparking hope for new glory in the years ahead.
