IT'S GAMEDAY: As the rivalry returns, will Virginia Tech shock the nation and upset No. 7 Miami? Check out our predictions for the
#Hokies
against the Hurricanes and all our pregame coverage here:
VHSL all-time receiving leader Keylen Adams signs with the
#Hokies
. This is the first time that the
#1
recruit out of the 757 has signed with the

since Tyrod Taylor. Highest-rated 757 signee for VT since Devon Hunter
Seth Greenberg defending the

BREAKING: Virginia Tech has announced that they will be retiring the

It may not get a lot of national recognition but Kendall Fuller's big pass breakup on the 49ers 2nd to last drive followed by his interception were critical in ending this game. Fantastic game from the former

Just a reminder that this team only started ONE SENIOR today. Also, they didn't have their best QB and should've probably won this game against a top 20 team that went to the Playoff last year.
After the despair post-Duke, the
#Hokies
are headed in the right direction BIG TIME
There’s no other way to put it, this starts with Brent Pry and his coaching staff.
From not being prepared to play in the first half to the special teams coaching malpractice of the highest order, this was completely unacceptable by Pry and his staff. This is on them
FINAL: Vanderbilt 34, Virginia Tech 27 in overtime
The story of this game starts with Brent Pry. His team was completely unprepared to play and lifeless in the first half and the special teams penalty that set up that Q3 field goal is coaching malpractice of the highest order
All-SEC Freshman Team OT transfer Andrew Chamblee out of Arkansas tells me that Virginia Tech has offered him and that he’s been in contact today with

Hey

Happy 18th my angel. Grieving your passing everyday. It isn’t easier. We are doing our best at making arrangements. The Blacksburg/VT community has been so supportive and our Tampa friends and families have been unbelievable during this trying time.

set to host Temple grad transfer DE Quincy Roche, the 2019 AAC Defensive Player of the Year.
Has 39.5 tackles for loss including 26 sacks in 3 seasons with 19 TFLs including 13 sacks this past season. Could be an INSTANT DIFFERENCE MAKER at Tech
Latest intel on Temple DE transfer Quincy Roche... he’s visiting Va. Tech on Friday and then “probably” Texas this weekend. Already visited Miami and liked it. He’s taking all his visits, a family member tells me. Anything new with UNC? “No,” I’m told.
25 years later, the dreams of 1999 live on for the most hyped up Virginia Tech Football team in over a decade.

HUGE: 4* Texas DE Alec Bryant will be taking an official visit to the

this weekend. Was previously committed to LSU. Won't be the only Texas recruit on campus with talented 3* DE and former Missouri commit Robert Wooten visiting as well
Brad Cornelsen should not be the playcaller next week. Awful playcalling especially situationally, all for a dismissal after this week whether it's Fuente or Whit Babcock who does it

star DT Woody Baron. Seems like a safe bet that Virginia Tech will reach out and see if they can get traction with Tyler Baron given the production and VT connection
Tennessee edge rusher Tyler Baron has entered the transfer portal,
@mzenitz
and I have learned.
One of the top pass rushers in the SEC, Baron finished this season with 10.5 TFLs and 6 sacks.
Some people are calling this an embarrassing performance.
That's 100% wrong.
This team didn't quit. They just had an off half while UVA had an incredible shooting performance. That's just being beat.
This is a team that fights to the end. That's worthy of praise.
#Hokies
#Hokies
making a STATEMENT tonight. Incredible how much this team has improved from getting blown out by Duke to dominating a top 25 team inside Lane Stadium. Fuente, Foster, and this team all deserve lots of credit for what is the ACC's second best team and a top 25 caliber team
4* LB Josiah Trotter clearly enjoyed his

visit a lot.
Also the son of former long-time NFL LB Jeremiah Trotter who has quite the smile on his face
Hendon Hooker continuing to look quite good in a Tennessee uniform, 6-7 for 120 yards and 2 TDs.
Tech's best QB is playing 4 hours south in Knoxville and their second best may be the one who could go win an FCS title in Fargo. Roster management.

So Stephen F Austin gets banned from a future NCAA Tournament for an administrative error while UNC has decades of fake classes and gets nothing.
All you need to know about the NCAA
Stephen F. Austin will have multiple sports - including men’s basketball - serve a postseason ban due to falling under the APR threshold. Sources told

it was due to an administrative error in academic certification process. Men’s basketball will serve ban in 2021-22.

One of the interesting stats from last night:

defense gave up 78 yards of offense in the 2nd half including 0 in the third quarter.
Overall, VT came out better in the 2nd half in many ways than the first and better in the 3rd quarter than all of last year.
After careful consideration (and a classy gender reveal 😂) I’ve decided to shut my unborn son’s recruiting down and announce that he’s 1,000% committed to Virginia Tech‼️
