Kyron Drones leads Virginia Tech over California 42-34 in double OT

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- , Kyron Drones threw a touchdown pass in the second overtime before running for the two-point conversion and Virginia Tech rallied last in a 42-34 victory over California on Friday night. Drones hit Takye Heath for a 7-yard touchdown to begin the second OT for Virginia Tech (3-5, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), and then ran it in on the mandatory two-point try for an eight-point advantage. True freshman Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele threw four straight incompletions for California (5-3, 2-2) to end it. “We knew it was going to take all three phases to get it done,” Virginia Tech interim coach Philip Montgomery said. “In the second half, our guys continued to battle, continued to fight, and they were resilient all game long. I just couldn’t be more proud of our football team and our coaching staff, with the way they’ve welded together and stayed together.
