  "account": "Blacksburg, VA - September 5, 2026 - As Week 2 of the James Franklin Era begins, Virginia Tech prepares to take on the Old Dominion Monarchs at Lane Stadium. This will be the eighth meeting between the two teams, with the Hokies holding a slight 4-3 advantage. The last encounter between these Commonwealth rivals occurred almost exactly one year ago, on September 13, 2025. In that game, the Monarchs stunned Virginia Tech by leading 31-0 before the Hokies ultimately prevailed 45-26. Following that victory, Brent Pry was promptly fired. Last season, Virginia Tech secured a 73-3 win against VMI during their coach Franklin's first appearance. Meanwhile, Old Dominion started their season 1-0 with a triumph over Michael Vick's Norfolk State Spartans. Stay tuned as we bring you live updates from today's Virginia Tech vs. Old Dominion game.",
