With any coaching change and rebuilding effort, you’d like to start seeing concrete progress in year two, and to watch Brent Pry’s Virginia Tech team over the first month of this season, you wouldn’t think they had that in them.
The Hokies started 1-3 as they struggled to sort things out offensively, and while road losses at Rutgers and Marshall were forgivable, the nature of them—failing to score more than 17 points in either—was dispiriting. It looked a lot like 2022.
Since then, though, Virginia Tech is 4-2, scoring at least 30 points in all four—the Hokies didn’t crack 30 points all of last season.
