Virginia Tech football: Cal defeats Hokies 25-20
A brutal loss for the Hokies on the road at Cal.
Cal earned a victory over the Virginia Tech Hokies with a score of 25-20 on Saturday. Quarterback Jackson Brousseau guided the Golden Bears to a strong performance, completing 29 of 43 passes for 321 yards and a touchdown. The Hokies struggled to start, facing numerous third-and-long situations in the opening quarter. Virginia Tech took an early lead with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Ethan Grunkemeyer to Ayden Greene, but Cal soon responded with a 85-yard drive, capitalizing on a taunting penalty call for a defensive end.
Both teams exchanged possessions, and California scored a field goal before halftime, leading 20-13. The Hokies pushed for a touchdown on their final drive, but Hokies quarterback Grunkemeyer's pass to Luke Reynolds went incomplete. Despite the missed two-point conversion, Cal secured the win, pushing Virginia Tech to a 4-2 record and a 1-2 ACC standing.
