Franklin’s Hokies Aim for ACC Glory | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

In the ACC, they’re right in the mix—just behind Florida State, ahead of Virginia—with tough road tests against Miami, Clemson, and SMU looming. Winning three of those close, high-stakes matchups could be the key to a championship run—or at least a bowl game. The season promises drama, especially that pivotal road game against Miami.
