Franklin Targets Discipline Against Rahne | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech’s big win over VMI hasn’t eased head coach James Franklin’s focus—he’s zeroing in on eleven penalties for 93 yards, calling it sloppy and dangerous. Now they turn to Old Dominion, led by longtime colleague Ricky Rahne, with whom Franklin shares deep roots from Kansas State, Vanderbilt, and Penn State. Rahne’s ODU squad has already split their four previous matchups with Virginia Tech, including a painful 45-26 loss last season. Franklin admits the personal history, but insists game day is about business—expecting a confident, well-prepared ODU team. He’s not chasing revenge; he’s reminding his players that last year’s defeat—and Norfolk State’s gritty win—are already on repeat in practice, fueling discipline, not drama.
