## Resource

Virginia Tech’s football team is chasing an improbable perfect season under new coach James Franklin, starting with tough early matchups against VMI and Old Dominion before facing Maryland. Road games against rebuilding Boston College and talented California are winnable if they avoid mistakes and force turnovers. The real test comes against Clemson, SMU, and Miami—where Franklin’s disciplined, physical style and a strong run game will be vital. Defensively, they don’t need to be elite, but must be opportunistic, creating negative plays and winning the turnover battle. Culture and belief may be their biggest edge—making a perfect season a long shot, but not impossible. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
