## Resource

Coach Franklin’s reign at Virginia Tech is sparking unprecedented hype, fueled by a top-25 recruiting class and elite portal signings—but can he deliver? The key? A scorching start with winnable games against VMI, Old Dominion, and Maryland to build momentum, heal the roster, and set the tone for ACC play. Rebuilding the defense under Brent Pry—back with Franklin and armed with new transfers—is central to restoring the Hokies’ feared identity. A strong, turnover-forcing defense early gives the offense breathing room and turns Lane Stadium into a fortress. If they win the games they’re supposed to, this program could finally reclaim its swagger after a decade of quiet. The moment is now.
