Virginia Tech Hokies News: Fans Troll Kirk Herbstreit, Women's Soccer Climbs in Poll

Virginia Tech fans troll Kirk Herbstreit

Three weeks later Virginia Tech fans are now giving it to ESPN's top analyst released his top seven performances on his X account and there was one glaring omission.

Missing was running back Bhayshul Tuten who set the all-time school record for rushing yards in a game with 266 and three touchdowns on the ground and one through the air.
