Virginia Tech Football: ESPN Expert Gives Biggest Takeaway From Hokies Loss to Minnesota in Dukes Mayo Bowl
It was a fitting end on Friday night for Virginia Tech in the Dukes Mayo Bowl vs Minnesota. After coming into the year with ACC title aspirations, the Hokies disappointing season ends at 6-7. Losing the bowl game was not at all surprising considering the players the Hokies had missing, but it was the final chapter in a season that started with big hopes.
After the game, ESPN’s David Hale gave his biggest takeaway for the game, as well as naming an MVP for Minnesota’s win:
Takeaway: “Minnesota extended the longest bowl winning streak in the country to eight games, largely dominating a severely depleted Virginia Tech team that was missing its starting quarterback, running back, receivers, pass rushers and defensive backs. Max Brosmer, playing in his last collegiate game, threw for 211 yards and finished the season with 2,828 yards passing — the third-highest total in school history. The defense came up big all night, limiting the Hokies offense to 223 total yards and nine first downs. Twice in the fourth quarter, Virginia Tech drove inside the Minnesota 20 but the Gophers stopped the Hokies both times on fourth down, including a game-sealing interception with 4:24 remaining. There was one highlight for Virginia Tech: Kicker John Love made a 60-yard field goal, the second longest in school history. Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck got the ceremonial mayo bath after the win, his sixth bowl victory at the school. The other 34 coaches in program history have combined for seven.”
MVP: WR Elijah Spencer. Spencer finished with six catches for 81 yards and two first-half touchdowns, tying the school record for receiving touchdowns in a bowl game.
All eyes shift to next season now for the Hokies. They are still working on adding talent through the transfer portal and getting quarterback Kyron Drones back healthy. Next year will be a big season for Brent Pry and this program and the work to have a big 2025 season starts now.

Opinion | Virginia Giuffre’s brothers join protest outside Epstein’s former New Mexico ranch
The brothers of the late Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre joined demonstrators outside Epstein’s former ranch in New Mexico on Sunday to demand more transparency.
The protest, pegged to International Women’s Day, was attended by what the Santa Fe New Mexican estimated to be hundreds of demonstrators, including activists and lawmakers, outside the estate formerly known as Zorro Ranch.
Sky Roberts said it was the first time he had visited the ranch, and demonstrators’ presence was important as a show of “force” that they’re not “going away,” as some people, including the president, try to direct attention away from the Epstein scandal. During his remarks, he rebuked the government for what he called a cover-up and demanded the Justice Department release documents that show who visited the ranch, among other things.
“All those names are in the files, and right now the government is covering those up,” he said, according to Reuters.
Epstein reportedly talked about using the ranch (now owned by Don Huffines, the GOP candidate for Texas state comptroller) for a eugenics-inspired plan to impregnate several women to “seed” the human race with his DNA (there’s no evidence he carried out such a plan). Giuffre’s posthumously released memoir includes allegations about meeting politicians and CEOs at Zorro Ranch, which was also recently linked to an unverified claim in the Epstein files alleging the deceased sex criminal had the bodies of two women buried near the property. After that allegation surfaced among the recently released Epstein files, New Mexico’s state legislature formed a truth commission to investigate Epstein’s activities at the ranch; the state DOJ has opened a probe of its own.
