When it comes to VT sports… Pro Knows

You underestimate the overall improvement in this team, and it will get better as the season progresses. Need to stay healthy as not deep

My preseason thoughts on each position group (Better, Same, Worse)
MKD • 07/24/26 09:34 AM ET
Do we have a Tuten?
likehokies • 07/25/26 02:48 PM ET
Don’t agree with the OL being the same at all. Lots of new faces added to
SCHokie1103 • 07/25/26 12:01 PM ET
I'm really excited as well. Should be a fun season. GO HOKIES **
MKD • 07/25/26 07:50 PM ET
How on earth do you have LB as worse? Chambers >>>> Keller for ceiling
hokiepro • 07/24/26 01:18 PM ET
I cannot ID a position group as same or worse than last year
hokiepro • 07/24/26 01:22 PM ET
I'd say better because all but one starter is back I think
BigDaddyHokie • 07/26/26 09:12 PM ET
I respect your opinion **

vtchem75 • 07/24/26 06:42 PM ET
We’re deeper than last yr at every position except DT with the Laws injury
hokiepro • 07/25/26 07:34 AM ET
Good observations pro **
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/26/26 07:11 AM ET
There are really a couple of ways
Tidewater Hillbilly • 07/24/26 12:58 PM ET
Tend to agree with overall assessment
MaryWashGrad • 07/24/26 12:53 PM ET
7-5 meets my expectations. But I have to admit
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/24/26 06:36 PM ET
Exactly my thoughts. 8-4 would be an outstanding season with this roster **
MKD • 07/25/26 08:53 AM ET
Pretty accurate. LBs being worse is a terrifying thought**
NOFX • 07/24/26 12:43 PM ET
But they’re not. Not close **
hokiepro • 07/24/26 01:23 PM ET
Yeah, I don't agree with that **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/25/26 12:22 AM ET
Curious what you think our record will be.
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/24/26 12:08 PM ET
7-5 but will require winning some high scoring games (shootouts)**
MKD • 07/24/26 12:24 PM ET
Our defense won't be worse than last year **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/25/26 12:23 AM ET
7-5 is reasonable but
Planner_Hokie • 07/24/26 02:10 PM ET
If LBs are "worse" then they must be awful and we know the LB coach**
George Baylor • 07/24/26 11:21 AM ET
Yeah, if LBs are worse then it's going to be a long season. **
40ozDistrict • 07/24/26 11:32 AM ET
O-line is....Better.....IMHO**
vtchem75 • 07/24/26 10:15 AM ET
You realize that mess of an OL last year was top 5 in running efficiency?
Happy Dog • 07/25/26 07:18 AM ET
+1- better blind side protection, more depth to keep them refreshed and
tallahasseehokie • 07/25/26 09:34 AM ET
They took a lot of undue blame last year
Happy Dog • 07/25/26 09:36 AM ET
Hopefully so, but I don't expect much improvement this year.
MKD • 07/24/26 12:25 PM ET
Depth and play are two different metrics**
Tombo • 07/24/26 09:06 PM ET
You do realize we brought in better players and have way more depth!?**
hokiepro • 07/24/26 01:24 PM ET
Hope you're right. On offense I agree better players and depth.
MKD • 07/24/26 04:41 PM ET
About right
