This week in Virginia Tech talk
Virginia Tech's first year under James Franklin kept the conversation going all week after the Hokies pulled off a road win at Clemson. The shows looked at Tech as a solid, improved team sitting around fourth in the ACC with bowl eligibility pretty much locked in, though some hosts were curious to see how high they could climb with road tests coming up at SMU and Miami. The talk kept coming back to how well Franklin has things going in his first season down in Blacksburg.
