Virginia Tech Football Claims First 2025 Win Under Interim Coach Montgomery

Virginia Tech secured its first win of the 2025 season with a commanding 38-6 victory over Wofford under interim head coach Philip Montgomery, snapping a three-game losing streak and a seven-loss skid dating back to last season. Quarterback Kyron Drones led the offense efficiently, completing 27 of 32 passes for over 300 yards and accounting for four total touchdowns, while the defense dominated by holding Wofford to -1 rushing yards and recording multiple sacks and tackles for loss. Key contributors included Braydon Bennett, who opened scoring with a rushing touchdown, and Devin Alves, who caught his first career touchdown after switching from safety to wide receiver. The win was seen as a much-needed reset for a team that had struggled early and was adjusting after the firing of head coach Brent Pry following a 0-3 start. Despite missing several key players due to transfers and injuries, the Hokies controlled the game through solid offense, stout defense, and possession control, outgaining Wofford 461 to 141 yards. This performance offers hope for improved consistency as Virginia Tech enters ACC play, emphasizing the importance of continuing to build on this momentum.
