Hokies’ Tough Road Ahead | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech Hokies sit just outside the top 25 but are getting serious attention—ranked 37th overall with 12th place among receiving votes. Their season kicks off at home against VMI on Sept. 5, then dives headfirst into a brutal schedule featuring two ranked road games: SMU (No. 19) in Dallas on Nov. 6 and Miami (No. 7) in Miami Gardens on Nov. 21—their final road test. History’s stacked against them: they’ve lost 8 of the last 10 to Miami, and their last road win over the Canes was in 2020. Against SMU, they’re just 1-2 since the 70s. Beyond those marquee matchups, they’ll face other AP-voted teams like Clemson, Pitt, Georgia Tech, Cal, and Virginia—with some long losing streaks and others more competitive. The rivalry game against Virginia? Always electric, though Hokies have dominated for stretches. With a gauntlet ahead, can they claw their way into the top 25—or at least prove they belong?
