Hokies vs ODU: Redemption on the Line | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech hosts Old Dominion in a high-stakes season opener, favored by 17.5 points but facing a team on fire — seven straight wins, including a bowl victory. Last year’s upset that cost Brent Pry his job returns in a twist: he’s now defensive coordinator under James Franklin. Old Dominion, despite losing key personnel, is loaded with new talent and ready to prove they’re no fluke. The Hokies showed promise in their debut with a strong defense and new QB, but penalties and a costly special teams blunder could be costly against a gritty, ground-oriented squad. This isn’t just a tune-up — it’s redemption, momentum, and a test of discipline. Kickoff: noon on The CW. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
