After what was supposed to be a year where the Virginia Tech football team was supposed to take the next step under Brent Pry in 2024 turned into a disaster of a season. It started with a Week 1 loss at Vanderbilt, and things never went well at any point in the season.
Whether it was injuries, coaching, or whatever you want to pin it on, nobody envisioned the Hokies needing to beat Virginia at home on Thanksgiving Weekend to become bowl-eligible. That's what they faced, and for the second straight year, they were able to rout the Cavaliers to get a second straight bowl under Pry.
