This is a 10* BOWL WINNER on Virginia Tech.

I've had a lot of success so far this Bowl Season playing against teams that have had a lot of transfers or missing players, and so I'm keeping true to that pattern here.

With their head coach, starting quarterback, several offensive and defensive starters out for this game, I'm expecting the 11-2 Tulane Green Wave to get overwhelmed here.

Virginia Tech is 6-6 and coach Brent Pry will be coaching his first for bowl game for this team. The Hokies won two of their final three games, beating Boston College 48-22 and Virginia 55-17, with a 35-28 competitive loss to NC State.

QB Kyron Drones has nearly 2,000 yards passing and a great 15:3 TD:INT. The defense has been sharp as well in conceding only 24.3 PPG.

I don't see Kai Horton, who was 31 of 62 for 485 yards, three TD's and two picks, doing much of anything against this well-prepared Hokies' defensive unit.

Lay the points, the play is VIRGINIA TECH.

Good luck, NP
