- RB/TE: 4 Yard run by whatever VT RB is in followed by a pass to a TE for first down

- QB: Tech Talk Live Notes: James Franklin And Tyson Flowers Franklin and Flowers previewed the #Hokies' game at Maryland on Saturday night, including what to expect from Terps quarterback Malik Washington.

- TE: It is so nice to have a coaching staff large and talented enough to help us be able to scheme us into better situations in areas that could potentially be mismatches against us again.

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

- QB/OL: Grunk isn't gonna win the heisman, but he's the solid type of QB that could lead us to the playoffs.

- WR/TE: WR/TE 3 getting half the targets of WR/TE 1 & 2 seems normal to me.

- Injury: Just realized Maryland’s starting RB got injured and won’t play against us.

- Pick/market: 31/74 targets have gone to 2 people.

- QB: Oh yeah but I don’t think I was going out on too much of a limb there.

- OL: You may want to sit this one out and just let me handle it.

- OL: Wegdam is the next one from that group that is game(ish) ready

- WR: I don’t think so, I do think Howle needs to spread it around a little bit more than he has.

- 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.

- QB: Games are won and lost in the trenches with 27 year olds...

- QB: It's one thing if they are just bull rushing against inferior opponents but they are blowing past the OTs and racing to the QB.

- Coaching: The questions asked by the VT media annoy the ***** out of me.

- OL: Vegas did and has us as a 3pt road favorite which is 6pt on neutral and 9pt at home soooooo

- QB/LB: Buy or Sell: Virginia Tech at Maryland https:// techsideline.com/article/2026/0 9/17/buy-or-sell-virginia-tech-at-maryland … 1.

- 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...

- TE: I saw meadows come in when we were near the goal line and pushed Layth out to play a jumbo TE spot.

- QB: I gotta say, for the first time in a long time, I feel at-ease with our QB position.

- Pick/market: You did better this time around

- OL: We have a lot of young, talented OL that need seasoning before they’ll be ready.

- QB/TE: First tiime in a long while that a running quarterback didn’t absolutely trample over VT.

- OL: Respectfully, it’s not the RBs not cutting or the o-line not being up to task.

- OL/LB: Agreed, ODU forced us to beat them through the air, and Howle/Grunk did just that.

- Pick/market: This is the correct answer unfortunately.

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

- RB/TE: I didn't see much from him, but I will say I am less worried about the tackles because you can chip with TE's and RB's more easily there.

- QB/OL: We wouldn’t have won with last years play calling or game management either.

- 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…).

- OL/LB: He should be the starter anyways.

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

- Pick/market: People need to chill out a bit.

- 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.

- OL: Our O has 37 points today missing an experienced starter on the OLine.

- QB: Two offensive lineman counting blades of grass while our qb got crushed

- Offense: Do you guys want me to keep it here or start a new thread for each of the following topics: Couldn’t run the ball at all.

- Pick/market: No use to do that when you can’t complete the pass, Grunk is 0-4 in my opinion on deep throws.

- Pick/market: Looks comfortable for a 2nd string guy.

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

- Pick/market: If you take away the 10 points scored on the fumble recovery and punt return, the score is pretty representative of two halves of football produced by the offense.

- OL/LB: Ugly-ish win, but tons of coaching points and you better believe Franklin will be chewing them out for the 2nd half performance.

- OL: ODU’s game plan was definitely to sell out for the run and force Grunk to make quick throws which he did.

- QB/RB: When Baker came in the ODU D immediate reaction was to cover the QB run threat and we got some good RB runs in late.

- OL: We had some issues (oline and corners) but we got absolutely blown out by this team one year ago and today we dismantled them.

- Pick/market: It’s definitely concerning the OL was getting no push against a G6 team.

- QB: Still not used to having a QB that can go through multiple progressions

- OL: Matt Moore isn’t making it to next year as Oline coach, yet again his unit is the weakness

- OL/LB: if we are both talking about specifically the o line then we should be able to after they are playing terribly.

- OL: If that offensive line keep it up I’d run their big asses all day next practice

- Offense: We scored on the next play so I don’t think the fumbled return mattered.

- QB: Coaches dream- big lead with lots of things to correct and keep the team engaged.
