Tech Crushes VMI, Eyes Historic Win | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 12, 2026 Duration: 1:43

Virginia Tech rolls into battle against Old Dominion after a historic 73-3 demolition of VMI, their biggest win since 1922 and highest scoring output since 1995. QB Ethan Grunkemeyer led the charge, and backup Bryce Baker impressed in his debut. Now, they aim for their first 2-0 start since 2021, facing a familiar foe in former Penn State assistant Ricky Rahne, now leading Old Dominion. Rahne’s team won their opener, and their QB Quinn Henicle is a dual-threat threat. Virginia Tech’s defense, led by Aycen Stevens and Thomas Williams, and their rushing attack, which scored more TDs than all of last season, are primed for another big day. Safety D.Q. Smith is expected to return after missing the opener, adding depth to a unit that’s already buzzing.
