The Atlantic Coast and Southeastern Conferences are welcoming plenty of transfers bouncing between throughout their Southern-footprint leagues.

The first game of the Virginia Tech football season has officially been nailed down for Sept. 2 at Old Dominion University.

Hokies will host a Thursday night game for the first time since 2018 when West Virginia makes a trip to Blacksburg in September.

Three straight losses for Virginia Tech and the end of a home stretch as they head on the road to Atlanta this weekend. Attitude is everything and wide receiver Tayvion Robinson has no interest in making a bad thing worse.

After suffering their first lost of the season to West Virginia, Lecitus Smith said the locker room was awfully quiet.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The Virginia Tech Hokies got in the win column on Saturday after their 31-17 win over Old Dominion. The Paladins are consistently ranked in the FCS classification and they're running an offense Virginia Tech is familiar with. With a new coach at Georgia Tech this season, so long to stopping the Yellow Jackets triple option... and hello to Furmans'. We've had some experience with [it] at Georgia Tech." But Tech's defense has looked pretty stout and with years of facing Georgia Tech, they should have no problem stopping the run.

- 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.
