After opening the 2025 season in Atlanta and suffering a 24-11 loss to South Carolina, the Virginia Tech football team returns home to Blacksburg and has a short week ahead of a matchup with another SEC school, Vanderbilt. It's one thing to play on a Sunday to open the season, then it's another to have to face another SEC school on short rest.
Last year, the Commodores opened the season by stunning the Hokies, 34-27, in overtime, and it began the coming-out party in Nashville for former New Mexico State quarterback Diego Pavia. He is back for another season under center, and he had a solid showing in their opener this past weekend. Here is your full guide to the Hokies and Commodores ahead of a Week 2 clash in Blacksburg.

Virginia Tech vs. Vanderbilt History
This will be the 11th all-time matchup between the two schools, with the Hokies holding a 6-4 series lead. Virginia Tech should not need much motivation for this game after the way things went down in the season opener last year. This would be the perfect time for the Hokies to pick up their seventh win in the series, as this is a must-win game in Week for Pry and Virginia Tech.
