Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Maryland Terrapins: News Items and Predictions

The Virginia Tech Hokies will face the Maryland Terrapins in a crucial preseason game at SECU Stadium in College Park, Maryland. Hokie Nation is urged to support the team by purchasing tickets and wearing white, as requested by head coach James Franklin. Maryland's quarterback, Malik Washington, is a skillful dual threat with a strong arm.

The Terps' defensive line is solid, and their sellout crowd for the game is noteworthy. Virginia Tech's head coach sought DMV area alumni to attend the game in white. The teams have only met 32 times in over 100 years, with Maryland leading 17-15. The game is expected to be a low-scoring slug fest, with neither team dominating the other.

Virginia Tech is favored to win, and the over/under is set at 53 points. The key to Virginia Tech's success will be running the ball effectively, especially with Kyle Altuner back in the lineup. The outcome of this game could significantly impact both programs and their coaches, who have recent history with each other.
