## Resource

Virginia Tech’s 2026 season kicks off with promise, led by returning QB Ethan Grunkemeyer and a loaded offense, but the real test comes with a brutal six-week stretch featuring four away games against top-tier opponents: California, Clemson, SMU, and Miami. CBS Sports projects an 8-4 season with a 5-4 ACC record, betting Tech loses those road games—but an 8-win campaign could signal a return to disciplined, physical football and rebuild fan excitement.
