BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Wofford’s winless start to the 2025 season continued Saturday with a 38–6 loss to Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium. The Hokies, behind quarterback Kyron Drones’ four total touchdowns, controlled the game on both sides of the ball. But for the Terriers, there were moments of fight and execution that offered building blocks as they prepare for the heart of their Southern Conference schedule.


Early Stand Shows Fight

Virginia Tech threatened to score on its opening possession, driving inside the Wofford 10. The Terriers’ defense, however, stood tall. On fourth down, safety CJ Coombes and the defensive front surged through to stuff the Hokies short of the line to gain, halting the drive and giving the ball back to the offense. It was one of the highlights of the afternoon for Wofford, a sign that the team could respond to early adversity in a tough environment.

Hokies Take Control Before the Half

The Hokies broke through later in the first quarter with a quick four-play, 68-yard drive capped by Braydon Bennett’s three-yard touchdown run. From there, Drones began to take command. In the second quarter, he threw touchdown passes to Devin Alves and Ayden Greene, extending the lead to 21–0.

Wofford managed to answer before halftime when quarterback Jayden Whitaker completed a short series of passes to move into range for kicker Sam Spence, who drilled a 43-yard field goal with 43 seconds remaining. The Terriers went into the locker room trailing 21–3.

Spence Stays Steady

Virginia Tech kept its foot on the gas in the second half. The Hokies opened the third quarter with a long drive that ended in a 20-yard field goal, pushing the lead to 24–3. Later in the period, Drones added a one-yard rushing touchdown to make it 31–3. He would punch in another short run early in the fourth quarter, completing a dominant performance that included 27 completions on 32 attempts for 307 yards.

Wofford’s only second-half points again came off Spence’s leg, as he calmly converted from 42 yards out. Virginia Tech added one final touchdown to set the margin at 38–6.

Bright Spots in a Tough Loss

Despite the lopsided score, Wofford found positives to build on. The fourth-down stop on the opening drive set an early tone. The defense later forced Virginia Tech to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns on two red-zone trips. Spence’s reliability from long range continues to give the Terriers a consistent scoring option, and Whitaker showed poise under pressure, completing 16 of 27 passes for 142 yards against a relentless Hokie pass rush. Receiver Ivory Aikens paced the offense with four catches for 42 yards, while running back Gerald Modest contributed with a key reception to help extend a drive.


Western Carolina Awaits

Now sitting at 0–4, Wofford will return home to Gibbs Stadium on October 4 to face Western Carolina. The Catamounts bring one of the Southern Conference’s most dynamic offenses to Spartanburg, presenting another challenge for the Terriers’ defense. For Wofford, the game represents an opportunity to regroup, establish consistency in the running game, and build on the flashes of resilience shown in Blacksburg.
