James Franklin prepares Virginia Tech for upcoming game against Old Dominion

Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin addressed the media on Monday following the team's 73-3 victory over the VMI Keydets. Despite the lopsided win, Franklin expressed dissatisfaction with the team's lack of discipline, specifically citing 11 penalties for 93 yards. The Hokies now shift focus to an upcoming matchup against Old Dominion at Lane Stadium. Franklin acknowledged the history with Old Dominion head coach Ricky Rahne, who previously served on his coaching staffs. The Monarchs have split the last four games against the Hokies, including a 45-26 win last season that preceded the firing of former head coach Brent Pry. Franklin indicated that no external motivation is required for this week's game because the team is fully aware of their opponent's recent performance. The coaching staff plans to utilize game film from last season as a primary tool for player focus.
