Virginia Tech Football Team Aims for ACC Championship in 2024

Virginia Tech's football team, under the leadership of head coach Brent Pry, is gearing up for a promising season as they aim to break a 13-year bowl game drought. Wide receiver Lane expressed optimism about the team's potential, stating, “I think the sky’s the limit.” The Hokies are returning all 11 starters on offense, including quarterback Drones, who had a standout season with over 2,000 passing yards and 17 touchdowns. The team is focused on building on last year's performance and is determined to achieve their goals. Coach Pry emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive mindset, noting that the team has discussed the significance of not dwelling on past failures. The Hokies' defense showed improvement towards the end of the previous season, allowing fewer than 135 rushing yards in five of their last seven games, all of which resulted in victories. This defensive resilience will be crucial as they prepare for the upcoming challenges. Looking ahead, the Hokies face a relatively favorable schedule in 2024, with their opponents having a combined winning percentage of .464 last season. This positions Virginia Tech with one of the easiest schedules in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). However, they will still encounter tough competition, including matchups against two teams ranked in the preseason AP Top 25, starting with a game against No. 19 Miami on September 27. As the season approaches, the Hokies are filled with excitement and determination, ready to prove their capabilities and reclaim their status in college football.
