Grunkemeyer Shines, Overton Breaks Out | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech’s Ethan Grunkemeyer dazzled in his debut, throwing for 224 yards and two TDs without a single interception — echoing his Penn State days where he went seven starts with zero picks. Facing Old Dominion’s turnover-prone defense, ball security will be crucial. Running back Jeffrey Overton Jr., sidelined last year, exploded for 104 yards and two TDs on just nine carries, including a 50-yarder on the opening drive. Wideout QueSean Brown added six catches for 109 yards and a long TD, earning offensive player of the game honors despite calling it an “OK” showing. Meanwhile, Old Dominion’s stout defense held their last opponent to 222 yards and three takeaways — but struggled against the run, giving up 84 yards to one back, setting up a potential ground game breakout for Virginia Tech.
