STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Kyron Drones passed for two touchdowns and ran for a third, and Virginia Tech bounced back from last week’s final second heart-breaking loss to No. 7 Miami and beat Stanford 31-7 on Saturday.
Bhaysul Tuten added 73 rushing yards and one touchdown while the Hokies (3-3, 1-1 ACC) got a big game out of their defense in the win. A transfer from North Carolina A&T, Tuten eclipsed the 3,000-yard mark for his career.
Drones completed 14 of 19 throws for 201 yards. He made touchdown throws to Stephen Gosnell and Da’Quan Felton and scrambled for 17 yards for Virginia Tech in its first game against Stanford since the 2011 Orange Bowl. Felton had four catches for 84 yards.
“That’s what we need to be offensively, defensively, special teams,” Hokies coach Brent Pry said. “A well-rounded effort against a good team at their place after a tough loss.”
