Franklin Faces Old Dominion Without Revenge | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech’s James Franklin is focused on moving forward, not revenge, as his Hokies prepare to face Old Dominion — the team that derailed his previous job. Franklin, who once sat on their sideline after being fired from Penn State, now brings a revamped roster and new energy into this rematch. While last year’s loss looms, he insists the team will study film without letting it fuel them. Old Dominion’s offense has evolved with a new QB, and Virginia Tech’s roster is loaded with transfers from Franklin’s past staff — making this more than just a game, but a reunion of sorts. With discipline and avoiding penalties critical against a fast, physical Monarchs defense, Franklin’s Hokies aim to prove they’re ready for a new chapter — no matter what happened last time.
