Hokies Shape Identity Against VMI | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech kicks off their season tonight against FCS rival VMI in a game that’s less about the outcome and more about how they play. After a surprising loss to Idaho State, the Hokies are running the ball heavily and rotating quarterbacks — setting up an intriguing test for their new starting QB, Ethan Grunkemeyer, a transfer from Penn State. With returning RBs, fresh talent at receiver, and a defense needing to step up, the real story is whether Virginia Tech can avoid last year’s mistakes and establish their identity early. Expect a comfortable win — but watch closely as coaches potentially insert backups, especially at QB, to gauge depth. Game time: 7:30 PM ET on ACC Network.
