Virginia Tech: The Hokies have a bye week before resuming play Sept. 27 against Duke.

BLACKSBURG, Va.- - The Virginia Tech Hokies are gearing up for Week 2 with Old Dominion coming to town. Last year, the Monarchs won on their turf 49-35 and now they're coming off a Week 1 win against Norfolk State. But it couldn't be more true for the Hokies, who lost to Old Dominion last year due to those little things. "It's always going to be mistakes and mess ups and things like that," running back Keshawn King said. But like any in-state game, the best Virginia team wants to come out on top.

- There's always a positive you can pull out of a negative situation, and for the Hokies, they had some young offensive weapons show glimmers of hope in Saturday's loss. In 2018, it was Tre Turner who turned heads for the Hokies and stepped up when they needed it most. Fast forward to Saturday, when redshirt freshman receiver Kaleb Smith, who recently earned a scholarship, showed us why he deserved it. He hauled in four catches including a touchdown against the Eagles -- production that head coach Justin Fuente was glad to see. He works, and he's earned that starting job, and I look forward to seeing how he grows," said Hokies quarterback Ryan Willis.
