Darryl Jones’ big day propels Maryland to blowout Pinstripe Bowl win Every Friday night, Maryland head coach Mike Locksley’s bed-check routine included encouraging senior wide receiver Darryl Jones to have a big game. Jones saved his best for last. Jones, who had not scored in four seasons with the Terrapins, caught touchdown passes of 70 and 32 yards in Maryland’s 54-10 laugher over Virginia Tech in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.

1. I’ll definitely remember this because I’ll tell this story for I don’t know how many years,” Jones said of his four-reception, 111-yard performance after he finished the regular season with 208 receiving yards.
2. But it’s definitely special.” This was Maryland’s first bowl victory since 2010 and the first bowl game appearance for the senior class after the Terrapins won five games combined in 2019 and 2020.

“We’ve been waiting for a long time for a game like this. It’s only fitting that he would get it in his last game as a Terrapin,” Locksley said. “I’m really happy for Darryl that he was able to finish on such a strong game.” Terrapins quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa completed 20 of 24 passes for 265 yards and the two touchdown passes to Jones.

The defense also got in on the action, with Greg Rose recovering a fumble and taking it 11 yards for a score after Nick Cross sacked Virginia Tech quarterback Connor Blumrick. Maryland set a school record for points in a bowl game. The previous mark was set in a 51-20 win over East Carolina in the 2010 Military Bowl, the Terrapins’ last bowl win before Wednesday.

The Terrapins (7-6) ended the season on a high note after starting 4-0 before six losses in seven games. Virginia Tech finished 6-7, with interim head coach J.C. Price going 2-3 after the school fired Justin Fuente. The first of Jones’ two touchdowns came early in the second quarter, when Tagovailoa launched a pass the receiver caught in stride inside the Virginia Tech 30 before outrunning two defenders the rest of the way.

Before that Tagovailoa’s first five completions had gone for a total of 12 yards. Virginia Tech quarterback Connor Blumrick passes during the team’s Pinstripe Bowl loss. AP Jones said when he caught the pass, he wasn’t thinking about playing his first bowl game at Yankee Stadium or his first touchdown.

1. I’m just like, ‘Let’s keep going,’ ” Jones said.
2. In the third quarter, facing a fourth-and-4 from the Hokies’ 32, Tagovailoa moved around and found a wide-open Jones at the 25.
3. Jones made a defender miss, then went the rest of the way for his second touchdown.
4. This is a long time coming,” Tagovailoa said.

“When you see Darryl run routes, it just pops out to you.” The quarterback called Jones a hard worker. “I think that’s the way he leads,” Tagovailoa said. “Not talking, just working.” Jones said his preparation was the same for the Pinstripe Bowl as it was for every other game.

“It was just my time has come,” Jones said. Just under 30,000 fans — 29,653 to be exact — were at Yankee Stadium. The game was canceled last year due to COVID-19. Virginia Tech’s fans made more noise during the team introductions as the team came out to Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” familiar in The Bronx for being Mariano Rivera’s entrance music coming out of the Yankees bullpen.

Does Virginia Tech have a Heisman winner?

6. Georgia Tech – 5 of 10

Joe Hamilton is one of Georgia Tech’s all-time great players. JOHN BAZEMORE/Associated Press Georgia Tech has enjoyed an excellent football history.2015’s down 3-9 record shouldn’t take away from a storied tradition. The Yellow Jackets own four national titles, the last in 1990, and 15 conference titles. But the Jackets have never won a Heisman Trophy. Tech has had three players finish in the top three in Heisman voting. In 1942, tailback Clint Castleberry finished third. In 1963, quarterback Billy Lothridge finished second to Navy quarterback Roger Staubach. In 1999, dynamic quarterback Joe Hamilton impressed voters across the nation, but it wasn’t enough to top Wisconsin senior tailback Ron Dayne, who set the NCAA career rushing record and took the trophy back to Madison.

Has Maryland ever won a national championship in basketball?

What seed was Maryland when they won the national championship?

#1 MARYLAND 64, #5 INDIANA 52 –

All-American Juan Dixon lofted the basketball into the air and Johnny Holliday proclaimed, “The kids have done it!” as head coach Gary Williams Maryland etched its place in college basketball history by winning its first national championship with a 64-52 win over Indiana. Dixon scored 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting, while fellow senior Lonny Baxter posted 15 points and 14 rebounds in the victory. After defeating the highest possible seed on each step of its journey, including UConn and Kansas, the Terps were matched up with Cinderella 5-seed Indiana, which had defeated Duke earlier in the tournament. The Terps were in control for most of the game. Indiana drew close midway through the second half, but Dixon nailed a 3-pointer to put Maryland ahead for good with 10 minutes left in the game. Quotable: “I developed as a person, a basketball player. I feel like I’m dreaming right now because I’m part of a national championship team. I went out here and got better each year and led my team to a national championship. It’s a great feeling man.

How much does the Pinstripe Bowl pay?

IU netted $120,000 from Pinstripe Bowl appearance BLOOMINGTON – Indiana’s Pinstripe Bowl appearance last winter resulted in a net financial gain with some help from the Big Ten, according to bowl expense reports obtained by IndyStar. Those reports, obtained via open records request, detail the costs associated with Indiana’s first bowl appearance in eight years, including a travel party of more than 650 people, plus lodging and accommodations in New York City, which altogether totaled nearly $2.3 million. IU received a payout of $2.075 million from the Big Ten, which pools bowl money and redistributes some of it to conference schools eligible for bowls to help cover associated expenses. The conference also covered nearly $350,000 in unsold tickets, allowing IU’s athletic department to finish approximately $120,000 in the black for the trip. The practice, according to Big Ten Deputy Commissioner Brad Traviolia, is common. Bowl trips are generally considered rewards for participating teams, but Traviolia said the conference recognizes that selling ticket allotments can be difficult. So the league helps subsidize unsold tickets. “Whatever they were not able to sell, that is an expense that the Big Ten will carve off the top of our bowl payout,” said Traviolia, the conference’s CFO/COO. In total, Indiana’s traveling party included 298 people listed under the heading “team and staff,” 267 under “band and cheerleaders” and 104 under “official party (faculty, athletics dept., etc.).” IU received an allotment of 7,500 tickets, according to its report. Of those, 3,359 unsold tickets were absorbed by the Big Ten. The Pinstripe Bowl’s annual per-school payout is $2 million, according to reports. The Big Ten, however, pools all of its member institutions’ bowl money, then parses some of it back out to bowl-eligible schools to help cover expenses. “The contractual relationship is between the conference and the bowl partner,” Traviolia said, “because in any given year, we don’t know who’s going to be (bowl) eligible, who’s going to be our champion.” Estimates based on travel, lodging, meals and other expenses determine how much schools get. Traviolia said the $2.075 million handed out for the Pinstripe Bowl was determined by “past track records of Big Ten teams traveling to that bowl in prior years.” According to the aforementioned expense report, Indiana spent nearly $600,000 on the bowl trip in transportation costs, and nearly $900,000 in meals and lodging. Bowl trips themselves are rarely lucrative for participating schools. Tennessee, for example, reported a profit of just $15,687 after its appearance in last season’s Outback Bowl, according to a report from the Knoxville News-Sentinel. It’s not clear what costs, if any, the SEC subsidized in that case. Indiana’s expense reports do not reflect the full cost of the bowl trip, because they do not include bonuses paid to coaches or staff. Under the terms of a new six-year contract IU coach Kevin Wilson signed this offseason, for example, the Pinstripe Bowl appearance would have resulted in a bonus of $200,000, although that number was likely lower under his previous contract. The reports also do not reflect the Big Ten’s annual blanket bowl payout, shared evenly among its 11 vested members (Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers are not considered fully integrated yet). Traviolia said that payout – which is distributed to each Big Ten institution, regardless of whether they participated in a bowl game – came to $7.3 million per school last year.

What is the biggest college rival?

1. Michigan vs. Ohio State – The granddaddy of all college football rivalries is the vs. Ohio State University. These two midwestern Big Ten powerhouses have been at it since 1897, with the Wolverines and Buckeyes meeting for “The Game” around Thanksgiving weekend for over a century.

What are Virginia Tech fans called?

The answer leads all the way back to 1896 when Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College changed its name to Virginia Polytechnic Institute. With the change came the necessity for writing a new cheer and a contest for such a purpose was held by the student body. Senior O.M. Stull won first prize for his “Hokie” yell (Old Hokie Cheer below) which is still used today. Later, when asked if “Hokie” had any special meaning, Stull explained the word was solely the product of his imagination and was used only as an attention-getter for his yell.

It soon became a nickname for all Tech teams and for those people loyal to Tech athletics. The official university school colors – Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange – also were introduced in 1896. The colors were chosen by a committee because they made a ‘unique combination’ not worn elsewhere at the time.

The official definition of “hokie” is “a loyal Virginia Tech Fan”. The HokieBird The bird is a “HokieBird” which has evolved from a turkey. Virginia Tech teams were once called the “gobblers”! Read more on the origins of the HokieBird. “Old Hokie” Cheer Hokie, Hokie, Hokie, Hy! Tech, Tech, VPI Sol-a-rex, Sol-a-rah Poly Tech Vir-gin-ia Ray rah VPI Team! Team! Team! Tech Triumph Techmen, we’re Techmen, with spirit true and faithful, Backing up our teams with hopes undying; Techmen, Oh, Techmen, we’re out to win today, Showing pep and life with which we’re trying; V.P., old V.P., you know our hearts are with you In our luck which never seems to die; Win or lose, we’ll greet you with a glad returning, You’re the pride of V.P.I.

Chorus: Just watch our men so big and active Support the Orange and Maroon. Let’s go Techs. We know our ends and backs are stronger, With winning hopes, we fear defeat no longer. To see our team plow through the line, boys. Determined now to win or die: So give a Hokie, Hokie, Hokie, Hi, Rae, Ri, old V.P.I.

Second Verse (seldom used) Fight, men, oh, fight, men, we’re going to be the champions Adding to our list another victory; Football or baseball, the games in which we star, They’re the sports which made old VP famous. Hold’em, just hold’em, you know the Corps’ behind you Watching every movement that you make. (Revised 2000) Verse:

You’ve seen Mountaineers fumble, You’ve been in Hurricanes’ eye, And you know ‘ol Syracuse Has learned the force of Hokie-Hi.

How did Notre Dame beat Virginia Tech?

BLACKSBURG, VA. — Virginia Tech’s bid for a second upset of a ranked opponent ended in anguish when Jonathan Doerer’s 48-yard field goal in the closing seconds sailed between the uprights to give No.14 Notre Dame a 32-29 triumph Saturday night at Lane Stadium.

1. The senior’s winning kick with 17 seconds to play prevented Virginia Tech from beating a second top-25 team at home in the same season for the first time since 2009.
2. The Hokies (3-2) defeated then-No.10 North Carolina in the season opener, 17-10.
3. Virginia Tech dropped its third consecutive game to the Fighting Irish (5-1), including a 21-20 loss two years ago in South Bend, Ind., also in heartbreaking fashion.

“Obviously it’s a tough locker room,” Hokies Coach Justin Fuente said. “What a football game. Incredible competitive event out there on the field tonight. Both teams, so many back and forths, different guys playing roles, guys going out, guys having to step in.

• It came down obviously to the very end there.” Virginia Tech took a 29-21 lead with 3:55 remaining on ailing quarterback Braxton Burmeister’s 19-yard run amid a breakdown in protection.
• His elusive run concluded an eight-play, 56-yard drive that benefited from a roughing-the-passer penalty.
• But the Fighting Irish drew within two on quarterback Jack Coan’s four-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Avery Davis with 2:26 to play.

Coan then scrambled to extend the two-point conversion attempt before finding Kevin Austin in the end zone, setting up the frantic finish. Virginia Tech played the final few minutes without starting linebacker and emotional leader Dax Hollifield, who was ejected for targeting.

The penalty also means Hollfield is ineligible to play for the first half of next week’s game against Pittsburgh. “It does hurt because Dax, he’s a positive energy giver,” Virginia Tech defensive end Tyjuan Garbutt said. “He keeps peoples’ heads up when they might be down. He continues to celebrate people when they make plays.

He’s one of our leaders, and losing him, it’s hard to replace him, especially at the time we lost him.” The Hokies had claimed a 22-21 lead heading into the fourth quarter thanks to cornerback Jermaine Waller’s 26-yard interception return. The touchdown with 50 seconds remaining in the third quarter unfolded when Waller picked off a poorly thrown pass from Tyler Buchner intended for Deion Colzie and ran untouched down the left sideline.

1. The point-after pass failed when Hokies backup quarterback Connor Blumrick had his throw intercepted.
2. Notre Dame had moved in front 21-16 four plays after Burmeister tossed his second interception of the season on a pass directed at wide receiver Da’Wain Lofton.
3. But cornerback TaRiq Bracy had inside position and secured the catch before he and Lofton slid out of bounds.

Burmeister left the game on the ensuing series at the end of a four-yard run on third and 10 with 3:02 left in the third quarter. Defensive tackle Jayson Ademilola corralled Burmeister from behind and landed hard on the redshirt junior, whose right shoulder absorbed much of the impact.

1. He walked to the sideline in clear discomfort favoring his right side but went back into the game with 5:20 left in the fourth quarter with Virginia Tech clinging to the narrowest of margins.
2. I mean obviously it was a little bit of pain,” Burmeister said, adding his arm went numb for a brief period.

“But I’m always going to go if I can go.” An error on the first series of the second half cost Virginia Tech a touchdown. On second and eight from the Notre Dame 13, wide receiver Tayvion Robinson caught an apparent touchdown from Burmeister, but left guard Lecitus Smith and center Brock Hoffman were ruled ineligible downfield.

The Hokies wound up settling for John Parker Romo’s 26-yard field goal for a 16-14 lead with 8:53 to go in the third quarter. The final minutes of the second quarter featured quick scoring drives from both teams that resulted in Virginia Tech trailing 14-13 at halftime after Romo, a senior transfer from Tulsa, connected on a career-long 52-yard field goal as time expired.

Virginia Tech got into position for Romo to attempt the kick thanks to passes of 10, 23 and 13 yards from Burmeister (14 for 29, 171 yards) after the Hokies had taken over at their 19 with 28 seconds to play. Moments earlier Notre Dame had capped an 80-yard drive with Buchner completing an eight-yard scoring pass to Kyren Williams.

The sophomore running back was wide open in the front right of the end zone thanks to a bit of misdirection on the play that led to miscommunication between Waller and linebacker Alan Tisdale. Buchner came off the bench to direct the Fighting Irish to its first touchdown with 3:44 left in the first half.

The freshman’s three-yard run punctuated a seven-play, 75-yard drive featuring Buchner completing a 46-yard pass to wide receiver Kevin Austin. Buchner dropped the precise throw directly into the arms of Austin despite tight coverage on the part of Waller as the two drifted toward the right boundary.

1. Coan, a senior transfer from Wisconsin, began the game at quarterback for Notre Dame amid a dose of gamesmanship from Coach Brian Kelly, who at the start of the week declined to reveal his starter while indicating he was certain who that player would be.
2. The Fighting Irish have used three quarterbacks this season, including freshman Drew Pyne.

“We practiced all week not knowing which quarterback was coming, so we wanted to prepare for all three of them,” Garbutt said. “You’ve got to know your personnel. You just trust in the training in going out there and doing what you’re supposed to do.”

How long has Virginia Tech had the Black Diamond Trophy?

(William Wotring, Copyright 2021 The Associated Press. All rights reserved) BLACKSBURG, Va. – Virginia Tech will take on West Virginia University on their home turf Thursday, competing for the Black Diamond Trophy. Some fans’ traditions were alive and well for the rivalry game, which dates back to 1921.

The Hokies most recently met the Mountaineers in 2021 and in 2017, but haven’t faced off before that since 2005. The Black Diamond Trophy originated in 1997 as an ode to Appalachia. Coal, or “black diamond,” is symbolic of the region’s history. The teams have faced off 53 times since 1921, with West Virginia leading 29-23-1.

According to Hokie Sports, Thursday’s game will be the first “Black Diamond” face-off in Lane Stadium in about 18 years. The last game played in Blacksburg was on Oct.4, 2004, when the Hokies won 19-13 over the Mountaineers. On Nov.6, 1999, Virginia Tech took on West Virginia in the “Miracle in Morgantown.” With only a minute remaining, the No.3 Hokies took the lead and won, putting them on track for the national championship.

1. The greatest upset of the matchup series was on Oct.22, 2003, when the Hokies held the spot of No.3 in the country.
2. The Mountaineers took the win against the highly-anticipated Hokie team with a score of 28-7.
3. The winner of Thursday’s sold-out game will have bragging rights for the foreseeable future as there are no current plans for games in the coming years.10 News’ Brooke Leonard was in Blacksburg before kickoff where fans were gearing up for the face-off.

Has Virginia Tech ever beat Notre Dame?

Virginia Tech tops Notre Dame in ACC quarterfinals, boosting NCAA tournament outlook NEW YORK — The Virginia Tech men’s basketball team’s uncertain NCAA tournament fortunes received a considerable boost Thursday night when the Hokies forged an early double-digit lead and blunted a late Notre Dame rally in an 87-80 triumph in an ACC tournament quarterfinal at Barclays Center.

1. Eve Aluma led a balanced scoring attack with 20 points on 8-for-12 shooting for seventh-seeded Virginia Tech (21-12), which won for the 11th time in 13 games and advanced to the ACC semifinals for the fourth time and the first since 2011.
2. The Hokies beat No.2 seed Notre Dame (22-10) for the first time in the ACC tournament to earn the right to play No.3 seed North Carolina on Friday night — with an opportunity perhaps to remove a layer of drama from Selection Sunday.

“We haven’t talked about it,” Hokies Coach Mike Young said of an NCAA tournament berth that would extend a program-record streak to five in a row. “We know we put ourselves in a tough spot, but I’m going to worry about, We’re playing a really good opponent in a wonderful postseason tournament.” Leading by double figures for much of the game, Virginia Tech could breathe somewhat easy only when Storm Murphy made consecutive three-pointers, the second with 1:51 to play, for a 79-68 lead.

1. Before that, the Fighting Irish had gotten within five points, the closest margin in the second half.
2. The Hokies missed two front ends of one-and-one chances but sealed the outcome by sinking eight consecutive free throws over the final 47 seconds to end Notre Dame’s streak of seven straight wins in its opening game of the ACC tournament.

Five players scored in double figures for Virginia Tech, which shot 57.4 percent, got 19 points from reserves and committed just six turnovers. Murphy had 16 points on 5-for-7 shooting, and Sean Pedulla had 11 of his 13 points during the first half. The victory came one night after Virginia Tech was in front of Clemson by 11 with a little more than seven minutes left in the second half but allowed the lead to evaporate.

• The Hokies, on Darius Maddox’s three-pointer at the buzzer.
• I mean, came back, and that was something we kept saying on the bench,” said Aluma, who added two rebounds, two assists and a steal.
• We just wanted to keep them at a distance, so we did that.” Virginia Tech ran much of its offense through Aluma in the later stages of the second half, and the second-team all-ACC selection obliged by scoring or assisting on 13 consecutive points, including a three-point play to grow the lead to 69-59 with 6:41 to go.

His soft touch led to baskets on floaters and midrange jumpers, while his power resulted in a two-handed dunk that brought teammates to their feet and Hokies fans out of their seats. Aluma also demonstrated keen court awareness by attracting defenders and passing to an open Justyn Mutts for a layup.

The first 10 minutes of the second half had Notre Dame threatening to get within single digits more than a half-dozen times, but in each instance the Hokies countered with a basket. The highlight during that stretch was Nahiem Alleyne’s four-point play when he sank a three-pointer from the right corner while drawing a foul by Notre Dame’s Cormac Ryan.

Alleyne’s free throw pushed Virginia Tech’s lead to 52-38 with 15:20 left. The Fighting Irish finally managed to draw within 58-50 with 10:20 to play following Paul Atkinson Jr.’s two-handed dunk and a pair of free throws from Ryan, but Virginia Tech got the lead back to double digits on Murphy’s reverse layup after a hard cut and a pass from Aluma.

• Prentiss Hubb, a Bowie native, led Notre Dame with a game-high 23 points on 8-for-12 shooting and five assists.
• A 42-31 halftime advantage for Virginia Tech featured scoring from eight players and elevated attention to defense that had the Fighting Irish repeatedly attempting contested shots with the shot clock in single digits.

During one exchange, the Fighting Irish’s Blake Wesley found himself with the ball well beyond the top of the three-point arc and the shot clock at three seconds. The freshman guard, who grew up in the shadow of Notre Dame, released a jumper, but Mutts blocked the shot, triggering a fast break.

1. The Hokies stormed to a double-figure lead early in the first half behind a blistering shooting performance, crisp ball movement and a lift off the bench from Pedulla, who had eight points over four minutes.
2. The largest lead of the half reached 16 points, but Virginia Tech at times labored for clean looks after Notre Dame switched to a zone defense.

“We just had a such a great look about us,” Young said. “We got Aluma started on the first possession of the game. Justyn was awfully, awfully good throughout. We got a couple shots down and, I thought, put Notre Dame on their heels a little bit, which is very unusual.” : Virginia Tech tops Notre Dame in ACC quarterfinals, boosting NCAA tournament outlook
