BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech returns to Lane Stadium on Saturday night looking to bounce back from a disappointing 51-28 loss to SMU, as the Hokies welcome Stanford for their final home stretch of the regular season. The game is a 7:30 kickoff.
The Hokies (6-3, 3-3 ACC) enter the matchup against the Cardinal (4-5, 2-4) seeking their seventh victory of the season and an opportunity to regain momentum before closing out the year against Miami and Virginia.
For head coach James Franklin, Saturday represents more than another opportunity to improve Virginia Tech's record. It is a chance to demonstrate how far the program has progressed during his first season in Blacksburg, particularly after the Hokies struggled in nearly every phase against SMU.
