Franklin’s Hokies Dominate VMI | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech’s James Franklin made a statement in his debut as head coach, leading the Hokies to a 73-3 demolition of VMI with six rushing TDs, three passing scores, and a special teams touchdown — including a blocked punt for a score that put them up 45-0 at halftime. The offense exploded with standout running backs and solid QB play, while Franklin got his first “Enter Sandman” entrance — though he wasn’t thrilled when his team celebrated with a VMI military member, resulting in a penalty. Now 1-0, they turn their attention to in-state rival Old Dominion next week, ready to keep this momentum rolling.
