Virginia Tech fired football coach Brent Pry on Sunday after the program stumbled to its first 0-3 start since 1987. The school announced the move a day after the Hokies fell behind 31-0 on the way to a 45-26 home loss to Old Dominion. In a statement, school president Tim Sands said the change was "necessary" due to on-field results described as "not acceptable" as Pry reached his fourth season. That included giving up 65 unanswered points over more than 70 minutes of game action during last week's home loss to Vanderbilt and into Saturday night's loss to ODU, which beat Pry's Hokies in his coaching debut in 2022 and again in what became his finale. "Blacksburg will always hold a special place in our hearts," Pry said in his own statement. "We leave with wonderful memories and lifelong friendships, and we will forever be cheering for the Hokies." Offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery will serve as interim coach, while Sands pointed to a need to "develop a financial, organizational and leadership plan that will rapidly position (the program) to be competitive with the best" in the Atlantic Coast Conference. "The new framework for college sports will be fully established for next season, so this is the time to make a major move," Sands said.

This is Virginia Tech's first 0-3 start since the first year of Frank Beamer's 29-year run that put the Hokies on the map nationally, notably with a trip to the national championship game behind star freshman quarterback Michael Vick in 1999 among Beamer's 23 bowl appearances. Beamer's run ended in 2015 and the Hokies played for the ACC title a year later, but otherwise the program has struggled for traction and hasn't cracked the AP Top 25 poll in four years. The school hired Pry in 2021 after eight seasons as the defensive coordinator at Penn State. But the former Virginia Tech graduate assistant under Beamer went 16-24 with the Hokies, including 10-13 in league play. - AP College Football

08/29/24 - Terion Stewart, rSr/2026, Virginia Tech, 5-09, 222 (DS#12 RB) + More +

Justin Pegues took the opening kick and raced 100 yards for a touchdown and Terion Stewart ran for three scores, including 73 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown, and Bowling Green rolled to a 41-17 win over Fordham in the season-opener on Thursday night. The Falcons opened their season at home for the first time since 2019 with their first meeting with the Rams. Pegues, a transfer from Tennessee Tech, fielded the opening kick while straddling the goal line, found a big hole in the Fordham kick coverage at the 20 and raced down the right-hand sideline for the score just 12 seconds into the contest. Jaison Patterson threw a pair of key blocks to help spring Pegues.

Stewart scored the first offensive touchdown for Bowling Green, bursting seven-yards for the score midway through the first quarter. Lucian Anderson III scored from 13-yards out to make it 20-0 after a quarter. Connor Bazelak added an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter before Bennett Henderson connected on a 24-yard field goal as time expired to get the Rams on the board before intermission. CJ Montes hit Cole Thornton for a 30-yard touchdown to start the third quarter, but Stewart scored on a seven-yard run late in the third quarter and put the game away with his 73-yard score midway though the fourth quarter. - AP College Football
