Hokies Road Test Against Maryland

Virginia Tech heads to College Park Saturday seeking their first non-conference Power Four win since 2017, facing Maryland in a matchup with deep history — and recent pain. The last time they met in 2021, VT was obliterated 54-10 by Taulia Tagovailoa, and they also lost in overtime back in 2013. Despite a 15-17 all-time edge, Maryland has won the last two meetings. VT’s road record against Maryland is solid — four wins in seven trips. Maryland returns QB Malik Washington, a promising freshman with 2,900+ yards, while VT’s Ethan Grunkemeyer lacks experience. On defense, Maryland’s Daniel Wingate is a tackling machine, and they added receiver Na’eem Abdul-Rahim Gladding. Plus, VT head coach James Franklin brings personal history to the table — he coached at Maryland before. This one’s got everything: history, hype, and high stakes.
