ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Flanked by his standout players for a postgame news conference, Virginia Tech football coach Brent Pry had no question what was next on his itinerary following the Hokies’ 41-20 victory over No. 23 Tulane in the Military Bowl presented by GoBowling.com.

“Let’s go bowling!” Pry said with plenty of enthusiasm after the rain-soaked game before a crowd of 35,849 boisterous fans at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

It was a terrific finish to the 2023 season as well as a great way to finish Bowl Week for the Hokies. Both teams spent the week in Washington, experiencing the sights of the nation’s capital while also preparing for the game.

Quarterback Kyron Drones, the Bowl’s Most Valuable Player, completed 13 of 21 passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns and rushed 20 times for 176 yards and one touchdown as Virginia Tech (7-6) clinched a winning record. Proceeds from the Bowl benefit Patriot Point, the Military Bowl Foundation’s 294-acre retreat for recovering service members, their families and caregivers.
