Virginia Tech vs Old Dominion Game Preview

Why Old Dominion Will Win

Virginia Tech is trying to figure it all out.

The Hokies aren’t totally starting over under new head coach Brent Pry, but they’re trying to put the pieces together on the fly, and that starts with a quarterback situation that’s down to Marshall transfer Grant Wells and South Carolina transfer Jason Brown.

The O line needs an overhaul, new parts need to find their way into the backfield, and Old Dominion has to take advantage of all of it.
