Well, that was fun. Virginia Tech hadn’t won a bowl game since 2016, so that one was long past due. The Hokies’ 41-20 dismantling of a solid but short-handed Tulane team gave them a winning record (7-6), and they’ll now go into the offseason with momentum and confidence. It wouldn’t have been the end of the world if they had lost the game, but 7-6 looks and sounds a lot better than 6-7.
