Coming off loss, Virginia Tech eyes revenge vs. Vanderbilt
DUPLICATE***Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia (2) runs against the Charleston Southern defense during their game at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025. While Virginia Tech's performance against an SEC opponent last Sunday was underwhelming enough that Hokies players felt the need to call a team meeting, Vanderbilt easily cruised to a victory against an overmatched foe last Saturday thanks to a steady showing from Diego Pavia. Virginia Tech hopes the meeting yields results while Vanderbilt is looking to make its first trip to Blacksburg, Va., since 1989 a successful one when the teams meet up on Saturday. The Hokies (0-1) are attempting to avoid their first 0-2 start since 2010, though that season ended with 11 wins. Virginia Tech began coach Brent Pry's fourth season with a 24-11 loss in Atlanta against South Carolina on Sunday. The Hokies […]

The game was already a wild affair that saw Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter spit on Cowboys […]
