One thing going into the 2025 season is true for the Virginia Tech football team, the Hokies are facing a more difficult schedule than they did a year ago. They are also facing a lot of unknowns with the roster turnover and coaching staff changes as well.
With a new defensive coordinator in Sam Siefkes and a lot of question marks as to who will play where, one thing is for sure: their run defense will be tested. Three of their eight ACC opponents have a Top 25 running game, according ot Athlon Sports. Louisville's talented backs ranked fourth, while Miami's 16th and Georgia Tech's were 17th. The Cardinals will visit Blacksburg in November with talented backs Isaac Brown, Keyjuan Brown, and Duke Watson. The Hurricanes will also visit later in November, while the Hokies will travel to the Yellow Jackets in October.
