For Virginia Tech neither last season nor this off-season went as planned. The Hokies finished 2018 with a 6-7 record, including a shocking loss to Old Dominion and a one-sided home loss to Notre Dame football. To say this was disappointing was an understatement. Virginia Tech was 9-4 in 2017, and expectations were high for Justin Fuente is his third season.
After two strong seasons, Fuente took a third year stumble. Virginia Tech was ranked 20th to start the season and picked to finish 2nd in the ACC Coastal. They finished unranked and 5th in the ACC Coastal.
