Hokies Kick Off in Orange | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech kicks off their season in a bold new look—full orange from head to toe—for the “Orange Effect” showdown against VMI on September 5th, hoping fans will match them for a sea of Hokie gold. Quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer takes the reins for his first official start under new head coach James Franklin, who’s tasked with reviving a program that finished last year with a losing record and a coaching change. With a 3-4 record in all-orange uniforms and a tough loss last year in the same look, the Hokies are aiming for redemption—and a statement—to kick off what could be a turning point. The game, airing at 7:30 PM ET on the ACC Network, marks the first meeting between these rivals since 1984. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
