We are strong, & brave, & innocent, & unafraid. We are better than we think¬ quite what we want to be. We are alive to the imaginations & the possibilities. We will continue to invent the future through our blood & tears & through all our sadness.
We are the Hokies.

Not sure what she's talking about. Hendon Hooker had 105 rushing, 100 passing in the first half against Liberty on Nov. 7, 2020.
Kelsey Riggs on ACCN: "(Kyron Drones is) the first Virginia Tech player to have 100 yards rushing and 100 yards passing in a half in 20 years." Didn't mention who did it previously.

Georgia Amoore scored 23 points in the 2nd half today against Miami. She's the first

player to have back-to-back games (29 @ UVA Sunday) with 20+ points in the 2nd half since 2004. She now has four 20+ 2nd half point games in her career, the most by a Hokie since 2004.
