About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and potential of the Virginia Tech Hokies football team as they enter the 2026 season under new head coach James Franklin.

Virginia Tech kicks off 2026 with new head coach James Franklin, fresh transfers, and a roster primed for a turnaround—but the path to ACC glory is steep. Defense, anchored by losses at tackle and new faces, could be the Achilles’ heel. Quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer brings promise but must deliver consistency under pressure. Wide receiver depth beyond Ayden Greene and QueSean Brown remains uncertain, and the brutal schedule—road games against Clemson, Miami, and SMU—tests every ounce of resilience. Can Franklin’s Hokies turn hype into wins? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
