One thing going into the 2025 season is true for the Virginia Tech football team, the Hokies are facing a more difficult schedule than they did a year ago. They are also facing a lot of unknowns with the roster turnover and coaching staff changes as well.
With a new defensive coordinator in Sam Siefkes and a lot of question marks as to who will play where, one thing is for sure: their run defense will be tested. Three of their eight ACC opponents have a Top 25 running game, according ot Athlon Sports. Louisville's talented backs ranked fourth, while Miami's 16th and Georgia Tech's were 17th.
