It's the second game vs. Vandy that is huge. Many don't expect to win the

USC game, so if VT loses it's expected. Lose the Vandy game, there we are at 0-2, and 6 wins - which is what Pry needs to stay - is very very tough.

Usc-e favored by 9.5-10. fair?**
hokietom87 • 06/08/25 04:46 PM ET
Good bet for VT IMO
Seikoh_04 • 06/10/25 03:59 PM ET
Generous it's only 9.5-10. Should be more like 14, at least.
GSOHokie01 • 06/09/25 11:47 PM ET
Yes, it's about what it would be if they played at the end of last year
6thStreetHokie • 06/09/25 03:49 PM ET
Actually they lost a ton of talent from last year
hokiepro • 06/09/25 05:20 PM ET
I have no idea, except
OldRetiredHokie • 06/09/25 02:10 PM ET
He went and learned under Lincoln Riley
HokiesACC2004 • 06/10/25 05:16 AM ET
How's the path we took looking?**
OldRetiredHokie • 06/10/25 01:32 PM ET
Wasn't talking about us.
HokiesACC2004 • 06/11/25 05:22 AM ET
I know, but I was and that's what's important
OldRetiredHokie • 06/11/25 11:49 AM ET
Even if Shane was "ready" for the job, the job would have came with extra
VTHokie2000 • 06/09/25 02:59 PM ET
True but still plenty of pressure in the SEC
HokiesACC2004 • 06/10/25 05:17 AM ET
But that comes with higher salaries.
EDGEMAN • 06/10/25 01:13 PM ET
Yes, it is a different type of pressure which can make it difficult for
VTHokie2000 • 06/10/25 09:21 AM ET
Yes, since VT has lost the luxury of having the benefit of doubt a long
VTHokie2000 • 06/09/25 01:12 PM ET
Duke was Duke, too**
TomTurkey • 06/09/25 05:26 PM ET
Correct. Unfortunately, the ACC has way too many teams in that wouldn't
VTHokie2000 • 06/10/25 09:25 AM ET
We have a secret weapon.
likehokies • 06/09/25 12:46 PM ET
I’d be happy if they knew the rules about when the clock runs. BP didn’t.**
Maroon Effect • 06/09/25 05:42 PM ET
So true
hokiepro • 06/10/25 12:38 PM ET
Coordinator in charge of timeouts seems like a great idea**
budforpresident • 06/09/25 01:45 PM ET
Total Guess at this Point… VT an enigma
vtchem75 • 06/09/25 11:22 AM ET
Sure, it's very fair.**
BG Hokie • 06/09/25 09:24 AM ET
We win straight up. Here we come to snuff the roosters.
KCHokie2 • 06/09/25 12:00 AM ET
He ain’t gonna die…**

ROOSTER**
ancient alien 2018 • 06/09/25 11:36 PM ET
We’d be fortunate for that. **
skautdog • 06/08/25 10:06 PM ET
I can't imagine much being bet on this game.
Coattail Hokie • 06/08/25 08:42 PM ET
You could say that about tons of games
Pylons • 06/09/25 11:52 AM ET
I get it.
Coattail Hokie • 06/09/25 10:49 PM ET
I expect us to lose another one score game **
hokiepro • 06/09/25 10:16 AM ET
We have a new OC & DC, I have no clue.**
Stech • 06/08/25 08:28 PM ET
They have new OC as well
hokietom87 • 06/09/25 09:28 AM ET
I think Shane has this one circled, it will be a tough win to get.**
TekkNerd • 06/09/25 09:25 AM ET
Better hope not. Must win game for VT.**
UpstateSCHokie • 06/08/25 08:25 PM ET
It is absolutely NOT a must win game for VT. That's silly talk.**
BG Hokie • 06/09/25 09:24 AM ET
Very few opportunities on this schedule for VT to make a statement. USC-E
UpstateSCHokie • 06/09/25 09:58 AM ET
FSU, Miami, Louisville at NCSU are all on the schedule
hokiepro • 06/09/25 05:21 PM ET
If L'ville and NC State are "better" than SC towards the end of the season,
VTHokie2000 • 06/10/25 12:20 PM ET
No one's gonna take VT seriously anyway when they lose 5+ games**
Synaesthesia • 06/09/25 11:43 AM ET
Making a statement does NOT equal must win. ODU is infinitely more must win
BG Hokie • 06/09/25 10:17 AM ET
Could argue all acc games > any OOC game...
VT757to276 • 06/09/25 10:32 AM ET
How so? Must win or…what?
hokiepro • 06/09/25 06:05 AM ET
It's the second game vs. Vandy that is huge. Many don't expect to win the ◄
VPI_1998 • 06/09/25 12:49 PM ET
Must win or we're looking at another season of irrelevancy...
UpstateSCHokie • 06/09/25 09:56 AM ET
What would you consider a good season in 2025?**
BG Hokie • 06/09/25 10:18 AM ET
Well. It could be that we fight tooth and nail
hokiepro • 06/09/25 10:15 AM ET
But is it a must win game for Pry and his future at VT?**
EDGEMAN • 06/09/25 05:09 AM ET
No, not in any way. It's a naive thought to think it is.**
BG Hokie • 06/09/25 09:25 AM ET
I don't really think it's a must win...
TekkNerd • 06/09/25 08:45 AM ET
Does Pry bear any responsibility for us being 10 point dogs?
UpstateSCHokie • 06/09/25 09:52 AM ET
Two of our best teams ever started 0-2 🤷🏻‍♂️**
hokiepro • 06/09/25 05:23 PM ET
You have so many positive thoughts about our team!
HOKIEGOBBLE • 06/09/25 03:56 PM ET
I don't think simply starting 0-1 vs. 1-0 says much about how things end.
Pylons • 06/09/25 12:19 PM ET
I'd say he bears most of the responsibility for it.
TekkNerd • 06/09/25 10:13 AM ET
Don't believe Pry has ever won a game where he was the underdog...
EDGEMAN • 06/09/25 08:53 AM ET
2-13, HTH's.**
bourbonstreet • 06/10/25 02:03 AM ET
Having a statement win to open the 25 season would be huge but it's far
BG Hokie • 06/09/25 09:27 AM ET
I think USC-E is a sure loss, and will start the snowball of another...
EDGEMAN • 06/09/25 09:39 AM ET
I agree wholeheartedly, I just don't see it happening. Hope I'm wrong.**
TekkNerd • 06/09/25 08:55 AM ET
We are heavy dogs and the line will widen. A must win game this is not…
hokieblitz • 06/09/25 12:59 AM ET
Well the line has dropped 2 points since open
AnotherTechW • 06/10/25 07:19 AM ET
Fully agree. Vandy is no lock, could well start 0-2. Hope for 1-1 at best**
George Baylor • 06/09/25 06:45 AM ET
Come on George. Somewhere down inside you is an optimist. 2-0 Easy.**
Stork • 06/09/25 09:51 AM ET
If I lived in South Carolina, I would say the same thing. 😁
Stech • 06/08/25 08:27 PM ET
Believe the "Little Beamer gang" will cover, but I don't bet.**
