Philip Montgomery’s Defense of Kyron Drones Highlights His Lack of Solutions

Virginia Tech’s Struggles at Quarterback

Virginia Tech interim head coach Philip Montgomery defended quarterback Kyron Drones after the team’s disappointing loss to Virginia. His postgame comments reflected a coach running out of explanations for the offensive troubles that defined the game.

Montgomery’s Postgame Remarks

Montgomery praised Drones’ leadership and effort, stating that the quarterback "did everything he could" to help the team. However, his defense came across as a sign of frustration and uncertainty about how to adjust the offense effectively.

"Kyron battled through adversity and gave us everything he had," Montgomery said during the press conference.

Despite his backing of Drones, the Hokies’ offense continued to struggle with consistency, play calling, and execution, issues that have persisted throughout the season.

The Bigger Picture

Montgomery’s insistence on supporting Drones suggested both loyalty and a lack of alternative options under center. It also highlighted Virginia Tech’s broader identity crisis on offense, with no clear direction as the season closed.

Author’s Summary

Montgomery’s defense of his quarterback after Virginia Tech’s loss underscored his inability to find new solutions for a faltering offense.
