There are strong reasons to believe that the Virginia Tech Hokies football team will have a huge bounce-back season in 2021. Last season, the Hokies finished 5-6 (5-5 in ACC play), which was their worst winning percentage since 1992 when they finished 2-8. The defense was much to blame for a disappointing 2020 season.
