So you say there's a chance? That's all you need is a chance, and the Virginia Tech football team appears to have it.
At this time last year, the Hokies were a dark horse for the new 12-team College Football Playoff with high expectations going into the 2024 season. When the dust settled, the season was a disappointment with a 6-7 finish after a Duke's Mayo Bowl loss to Minnesota in early January.
Following a bowl-clinching win over Virginia on Thanksgiving Weekend in Blacksburg, the Hokies roster and coaching staff had a lot of roster turnover with several players hitting the Transfer Portal or heading off to the NFL Draft.
