The Virginia Tech Hokies are continuing to build momentum under head coach James Franklin, improving to 4-0 with a hard-fought 21-14 victory over Boston College on Saturday.
Virginia Tech traveled to Chestnut Hill looking to keep its perfect start alive, and the Hokies delivered when it mattered most. In a game that came down to execution on both sides of the ball, Virginia Tech found a way to leave Alumni Stadium with another win.
For Franklin, the victory adds another important step to the early stages of his tenure in Blacksburg. The Hokies have opened the season without a loss, giving their fans plenty of reason to be excited about the direction of the program.
Hokies Keep the Momentum Rolling
Virginia Tech entered the matchup with confidence after earning a 35-26 road victory over Maryland the previous week. The Hokies carried that momentum into another challenging road environment, where they faced a Boston College team looking to protect its home field.
The 21-14 final score reflected a tightly contested game. Virginia Tech did enough offensively to reach 21 points, while its defense held Boston College to just two touchdowns.
Winning on the road is never easy, especially in conference play. But the Hokies handled the challenge and found a way to secure the result.
The James Franklin Era Is Off to a Perfect Start
Starting 4-0 gives Franklin and Virginia Tech an early foundation to build on. The Hokies have now won their first four games under their new head coach, creating excitement around a program looking to establish itself as a consistent contender.
Franklin arrived in Blacksburg with an extensive coaching résumé after leading Penn State and Vanderbilt. His teams have previously competed for conference championships and earned major bowl appearances, and Virginia Tech brought him in to help guide the program toward similar success.
It is still early in the season, but a 4-0 start gives the Hokies something tangible to build upon as the schedule gets tougher.
Virginia Tech Turns Its Attention to Pitt
With the win over Boston College secured, Virginia Tech can now turn its attention to its next challenge: a matchup against Pittsburgh.
The Hokies will look to carry their undefeated record into that rivalry game and continue building on the strong start to the Franklin era.
Four games into the season, Virginia Tech has yet to lose. The 21-14 win over Boston College keeps that streak alive and gives the Hokies another opportunity to prove that their early success can turn into something bigger.
For now, Franklin and Virginia Tech are 4-0 and the Hokies are keeping the momentum rolling.
