Franklin’s Bold Start at Virginia Tech | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

James Franklin’s bold debut at Virginia Tech sends shockwaves through the college football world—on first possession, he went for it on fourth-and-one, converted, then scored a touchdown. Gone are the cautious plays of last season; Franklin’s aggressive philosophy is already shaping the Hokies’ identity. Quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer shined early, but Franklin used the blowout to spotlight backup Bryce Baker, who threw for 100+ yards and a TD. With 27 transfers—including 12 from Penn State—Franklin’s got a roster in flux, and Saturday’s game gave him a real-time lab to test his new pieces. The future looks risky… and exciting.
