ROANOKE, Va. – Virginia Tech returns to the bowl game scene in Brent Pry’s second season at the helm. The Hokies are set to play Tulane in the Military Bowl.

After a 1-3 start to the season, Virginia Tech found a rhythm in the latter part of the season. Able to finish 5-3 in ACC play, including a 55-17 statement win against rival Virginia, the Hokies finished the season 6-6. Behind Kyron Drones at quarterback, the offense has opened up a bit more with its rushing attack. While defensively, Antwaun Powell Ryland has set the tone up front ranking second in the conference with 9.5 sacks.
