Hokies on the Rise with Bowl Hopes | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 15, 2026 Duration: 2:01

Virginia Tech’s surprising early season surge has national outlets buzzing—sitting at 2-0 for the first time since 2021 and climbing in the AP poll, they’re already being projected into multiple bowl games, from the Sun Bowl to the Pinstripe or Gator Bowl. Their dominant win over Old Dominion—44-21—showcased a ferocious defense (7 sacks, 14 TFLs, 4 fumbles forced) while Ethan Grunkemeyer threw for over 300 yards without an interception. With ACC competition faltering and SP+ models tightening their win projections, Virginia Tech’s path to an 8-4 record is narrow but still possible. My call? The Pinstripe Bowl feels like the sweet spot—with the Gator Bowl as a high ceiling and lesser bowls as the fallback. This could be a season to watch.
