Old Dominion Routs Virginia Tech 45-26 for First Road Win Over a Power-4 Foe

The result heightens scrutiny of Brent Pry after Virginia Tech’s first 0-3 start since 1987.

Overview

  • Colton Joseph went 16-of-22 for 276 yards and two touchdowns, added 63 rushing yards and a score, and Trequan Jones ran for 101 yards to power a 527-yard Old Dominion offense.
  • The Monarchs produced touchdowns on all six red-zone trips and built a 28-0 halftime lead, fueled by scoring drives of 93, 97, and 88 yards.
  • Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones threw for 266 yards and three touchdowns but committed an interception and two lost fumbles, and the Hokies were flagged 12 times for 114 yards.
  • Fan frustration was evident at Lane Stadium with boos and large sections emptying by halftime as the Hokies’ skid reached four straight games dating to last season.
  • Old Dominion improved to 2-1 and secured its first-ever road victory over an ACC opponent, drawing talk of a Sun Belt contender under coach Ricky Rahne.
