Hokies Dominate, But Room to Grow | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech cruises to a 44-21 win over Old Dominion, marking their first 2-0 start since 2021, powered by Ethan Grunkemeyer’s career-high 300-yard, two-touchdown performance and a dominant defense with seven sacks and multiple turnovers. But head coach James Franklin isn’t celebrating yet—his team gave up big plays in the second half and suffered a costly ejection due to a selfish penalty. Tight end Luke Reynolds made his mark with his first 100-yard receiving game, adding another dimension to an offense that keeps defenses guessing. Franklin also praised the transfer portal’s impact, crediting players’ intentional commitment to building team culture. Now, they turn their focus to Maryland next Saturday—this win is a promising start, but there’s still work to do.
