Virginia Tech vs Old Dominion Prediction: James Franklin's First Big Test
Virginia Tech's easy blowout was nice, but now James Franklin will be in for a fight against Old Dominion. Here's the CFN preview and prediction.
The Virginia Tech football team kicked off the James Franklin era with a dominant performance, defeating Old Dominion 73-3. Franklin's first real test in his new role will come when the Hokies face Old Dominion again in Week 2. Old Dominion, known for its strong defense, has a solid record against Virginia Tech, winning the last meeting 45-26.
The matchup is significant for Franklin as he seeks to prove his mettle in front of a national audience. Virginia Tech's offense, led by their quarterbacks, was flawless in Week 1, while their defense held VMI to a meager -4 yards. The team will need to maintain that level of play, as Old Dominion's defense could pose a challenge on the ground.
Virginia Tech's offense should be better equipped to handle Old Dominion's defensive schemes, which could make for an exciting game. The betting line currently has Virginia Tech favored by 19.5 points, with the over/under set at 49.5 points.
