- OL/DL: Really hoping Altuner and better line calls boosts the OL.

- Injury: You are right...Fat Rat is one of the fastest players on the team.

- Here’s how to catch all the action as Virginia Tech travels to Maryland for the first road contest of the season Saturday at 7:30 p.m. - TV: The game will be televised on FS1 with Eric Collins and Spencer Tillman on the call.

- Virginia Tech's Kyle Altuner worked alongside Montavious Cunningham on the first observed offensive-line double-team rep, with linemen practicing progression to second-level defenders. The reporter viewed that pairing as a possible starting-lineup clue for Maryland, not a confirmed lineup announcement; media access covered only 20 minutes. - Virginia Tech receivers worked on route breaks and catches over the middle, while tight ends emphasized short routes and getting open when plays break down. Running backs practiced ball security with coaches punching at the ball in a gauntlet drill. These are observed practice priorities, not evidence that a new passing scheme or backfield role has been installed. - Virginia Tech's defensive line and linebackers drilled run fits and gap responsibilities, with Brent Pry correcting mistakes. Linebackers also worked on low tackling technique, and defensive backs repeatedly practiced locating the ball and turning toward the passer. The report describes technique and assignment emphasis, not new personnel or coverage assignments. - In Virginia Tech's observed pass-rush one-on-ones, Cortez Harris beat Justin Terry quickly before Terry won his next rep against Kaleb Spencer. The reporter liked Aidan Lynch's work, with a possible loss to Mylachi Williams. The drill appeared to simulate Maryland's edge speed, but the short window and poor view of interior reps limit conclusions about the full line.

- DL: They were on the opposite end of the field today, so we didn’t get a great look at them.

- Coaching: OK, thought I'd weigh in here, since this thread has kept on rolling ...

- Pick/market: 34-17 We double them up and cover the spread easily for the 3rd straight game.

- BLACKSBURG - Tight end Luke Reynolds earned ACC Receiver of the Week honors and defensive end Mylachi Williams grabbed ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week recognition following standout performances in the Hokies' 44-21 win over Old Dominion. - Reynolds tallied eight receptions for 108 yards and two touchdowns, all career-highs, averaging 13.5 yards per catch. - The Westford, Massachusetts product now has 13 receptions for 158 yards and three TDs...

- DB: On the one catch where his knee was down, I wanted to see a view that confirmed inbound knee down before out of bound knee.

- Pick/market: yea he’s definitely coming back next year tho regardless how good of a season he has

- Pick/market: I actually went back and looked at the numbers.

- DL: Would be nice to see it out of them during the play too instead of getting punked by a G6 defensive line

- QB/LB: 1st team D line dominated, our qb passed the ball well, Our tight ends are a mismatch, Q Brown is electric, we have a great kicker.

- Pick/market: outside of the long QB run for a touchdown, those 3-4 plays made up about 1/2 of the yards they gained (just a guess…).

- Defense: Dominated the first half, especially on defense but clearly came out flat in the second.

- Pick/market: Out of upvotes for the first time.

- KICKER: For some reason I thought he might be a starter since he was chosen as a Team Captain.

- Virginia Tech's edge pressure generated repeated sacks and takeaways in the 44-21 Old Dominion win. Mylachi Williams forced the strip that Tyson Flowers returned for a touchdown and another fumble recovered at ODU's 20; Cortez Harris added two sacks. The defense still surrendered Quinn Henicle's 76-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run. - Ethan Grunkemeyer extended plays and converted key downs for Virginia Tech, finding Luke Reynolds for two touchdowns and Ayden Greene for 44 yards on third-and-17. Grunkemeyer also lost a late-first-half strip fumble. Bryce Baker entered with 7:41 remaining and later gained 21 yards on a broken play. - Virginia Tech lineman Montavious Cunningham was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct after a fourth-quarter touchdown. Earlier, Logan Howland replaced Justin Terry at left tackle for one play before Terry returned; the live report does not establish a lasting injury or permanent lineup change. - Safety transfer DQ Smith, who arrived shortly before Virginia Tech's opener, played against Old Dominion and recorded a second-quarter tackle that forced a punt. His participation was confirmed by the live updates, beyond the pregame expectation that he would be available. - Virginia Tech gained field position through Que'Sean Brown's 79-yard return to the ODU one-yard line. John Love made all three field-goal attempts, from 39, 22 and 25 yards, supporting a scoring margin that also included a defensive touchdown.

- DL: Defensive end was even getting held on that incomplete fumble

- Pick/market: Glad to be 2-0, but we have a ***** ton to work on.

- Injury: Their best DL is out for the year.

- Defense: It’s James Franklin’s UMD hate week.

- DL: I heard so many podcast where our dline was the big concern and the secondary was our strength...ha

- Pick/market: Pretty good first half for the #Hokies.

- LB: Touchdown, #Hokies, as we get an Aycen Stevens’ sack, fumble and LB Keon Wylie ran it in from 46 yards out.....BUT.....he dropped the ball as he crossed the goal line.

- Defense: End of the 1st quarter: #Hokies 17, ODU 3.
