## Resource

Virginia Tech’s 2026 season faces steep hurdles despite new coaching, transfers, and hype. The offense, which scored a dismal 21 points per game last year, returns most of its struggling line, while QB Ethan Grunkemeyer must adapt to a new system and inexperienced supporting cast. With over 50 new players, chemistry will be a major challenge. A brutal schedule—featuring road games against Clemson, SMU, and Miami, plus a tough Virginia rivalry finale—leaves little room for error. Even with James Franklin’s proven track record, immediate success is unlikely; the Hokies must prove they can execute under pressure, win close games, and overcome last year’s ghosts. Exceeding expectations? That’s a tall order. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
