Hokies Dominate VMI in Season Opener | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech obliterated VMI 73-3 in a statement-opening win, torching the Dukes with ten touchdowns and a suffocating defense that held them to just 32 yards in the first half. Jeffrey Overton Jr. and Marcellous Hawkins Jr. combined for five rushing scores, while QB Ethan Grunkmeyer dazzled with 224 yards and two TDs on 17-of-20 passing. The Hokies scored on six of their first seven possessions — a rarity since late 2023 — and didn’t punt once in the first half. With 17 tackles for loss (most since 1987), this was a dual-threat masterpiece. Next up: Old Dominion, where the momentum must carry forward.
