Virginia Tech Addresses Penalty Issues Ahead of Georgia Tech Matchup

Virginia Tech is preparing to host Georgia Tech after experiencing frustration from recent losses in ACC play. The Hokies have accumulated 416 penalty yards over six games, significantly more than their upcoming opponent.

Head coach James Franklin emphasized the need for accountability and focus as the team moves forward. He highlighted a message from senior analyst Danny Rocco that resonated with players, prompting them to reflect on their contributions and commitment to the team.

Virginia Tech's penalties have been a critical issue, particularly in close games, where they committed 15 penalties for 170 yards in losses to Pitt and Cal. Franklin has identified specific areas for improvement, including pre-snap and post-whistle penalties, and is intensifying practice focus on discipline to enhance performance in the upcoming game.
