In an impressive display of strength and skill, the West Virginia Mountaineers dominated the Duke's Mayo Bowl, securing a 30-10 win against the North Carolina Tar Heels. The victory not only earned the Mountaineers their first bowl win since 2020 but also marked their highest number of victories in a season since 2016.

The key to West Virginia's success in the Duke's Mayo Bowl was their dominant defense. The Mountaineers applied relentless pressure on North Carolina's true freshman quarterback, Conner Harrell, sacking him seven times and forcing 11 tackles for loss. The defense also came up with two crucial interceptions, including a spectacular one-handed pick by linebacker Tyrin Bradley to halt North Carolina's first drive in the second half.

While missing star running back CJ Donaldson, who was recovering from surgery, West Virginia's offense did not falter. Quarterback Garrett Greene stepped up, rushing for 75 yards and passing for 204 yards and one touchdown on 11 completions. The Mountaineers collectively rushed for 175 yards, compensating for Donaldson's absence and maintaining offensive momentum.

West Virginia's victory was also characterized by their ability to shut down North Carolina's offense in the second half. Holding them scoreless, the Mountaineers steadily built on their 17-10 halftime lead, showcasing their defensive prowess and resilience.

Head coach Neal Brown, undoubtedly proud of his team's performance, celebrated the win by taking a well-deserved mayo bath. With this victory, West Virginia has set the stage for a promising future, with fans and players alike eager to see what lies ahead.

The College Football Bowl Season continues to provide thrilling matchups and remarkable achievements, as demonstrated by Virginia Tech's dominant 41-20 victory over Tulane in the Military Bowl. The Hokies clinched their first winning season under coach Brent Pry, securing their first bowl win since 2016.

Led by quarterback Kyron Drones, Virginia Tech overcame a slow start to dominate the game. Drones showcased his athleticism by rushing for an impressive 176 yards, contributing to his three-touchdown performance. Running back Bhayshul Tuten also played a significant role, amassing 136 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

Despite missing several key players and coaches, the Tulane Green Wave put up a fight, recovering a fumble for a touchdown on the first play of the game and tying the score early in the third quarter. However, Virginia Tech's relentless run game wore down the Green Wave's defense, ultimately leading to their victory. Running back Makhi Hughes contributed 88 yards, while receiver Yulkeith Brown added 63 yards receiving for Tulane.

Virginia Tech's resounding win in the Military Bowl exemplifies their determination and sets a positive tone for future seasons. With a talented roster and a head coach dedicated to success, the Hokies are primed for continued growth and success in the college football realm.
