the room and talent if the can stay healthy and some of the younger kids continue to develop which I think they will under coach Moore in his 2nd year. No way we are worse at LB unless we sustain a lot of injuries. Just need Noah Chambers especially to not have a sophomore slump and some of the others in the LB room to find their right position and stay there instead of the constant moving around which is one of the few things that concern me about Pry as I’m pretty sure he did that at PSU as well although he had some success doing that. But that’s just what I see and I certainly respect yours and other TSL members opinions as well as we should all be free to do that without being attacked by certain members on TSL. No matter what our opinions are for the upcoming season personally I think it’s going to be an exciting year the likes of what we haven’t seen now for almost 15 years as Franklin and staff changes the culture and mindset of losing football to that of truly being reestablished starting in 2026. Can’t happen fast enough. Whether that means 8-4 or 7-5 in his first year and even at 7-5 if the team shows solid improvement and plays with fire, physicality, mistake free football and just executes without beating themselves and starts finding ways to win ball games instead of ways to lose. To me that’s a step in the right direction of establishing VT football to the days where teams dreaded playing VT not only at home but on their fields as well knowing the physical play they where going to experience playing the Hokies. It’s been awhile. Go Hokies!!!! ** Edited by SCHokie1103 at 7/25/2026, 10:06:57 PM ** Edited by SCHokie1103 at 7/25/2026, 10:09:21 PM ** Edited by SCHokie1103 at 7/25/2026, 10:10:32 PM
