Former Virginia Tech quarterback Bruce Arians leads Tampa Bay to Super Bowl win

At the end of the long and grueling football season, a Virginia Tech Hokie sits atop the mountain as a Super Bowl champion.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by former Virginia Tech quarterback Bruce Arians, defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 in Super Bowl LV to become world champions for the second time in franchise history.

The story of the game was legendary quarterback Tom Brady winning his seventh Super Bowl ring — and first with the Buccaneers.

Brady was outstanding, but a lot of credit should also go to the defense and defensive coordinator, Todd Bowles.
