2024 Virginia Tech Hokies College Football Betting

From 2018 through 2022, the Virginia Tech Hokies finished with losing records in four out of their five seasons. The Hokies seemed to be going back to the dark ages of their early days as a program. But Brent Pry rallied the Hokies from a 2-4 start to finish 7-6 with a Military Bowl win over Tulane. With that strong finish, Virginia Tech fans are engaged again and optimistic about the future. Pry has Virginia Tech ties and an appreciation for the potential of the program. Now, the question for 2024 is if Virginia Tech and Pry can maintain momentum and continue to build towards an ACC championship.

2024 Virginia Tech Hokies Betting Preview

After a slow start, Virginia Tech turned a corner last season, getting back to a bowl and finishing above .500 in the ACC for the first time since 2019. Tech struggled against top teams last year, however, falling to Florida State, Louisville and NC State by a combined 108-48 margin. The Hokies have sleeper potential for the 2024 college football season, but they’ll need to prove they can beat the top competition before anyone declares them ACC contenders.

The Hokies found something in quarterback Kyron Drones, who blossomed after taking over as the starter. The Baylor transfer accounted for 22 touchdowns in 11 starts, finally giving Virginia Tech a potential long-term answer at the position. He also reinvigorated the ground game with his dual-threat capabilities. Tech averaged 60 rushing yards per game before Drones became the starter and 213.4 after, with tailback Bhayshul Tuten (863 yards, 10 TDs) emerging as a workhorse.

The receiver room is as strong as it’s ever been, with Ali Jennings returning from a knee injury to rejoin a veteran trio of Da’Quan Felton, Jaylin Lane, and Stephen Gosnell that combined for 101 catches, 1,553 yards and 17 touchdowns.

The offensive line remains the biggest question mark, though it showed improvement in 2023.

Though the run game bedeviled the Hokies early on, the defense finished the year ranked in the top 20 nationally for the first time since 2017. The Hokies are especially strong in pass coverage, with Dorian Strong and Mansoor Delane forming arguably the best cornerback tandem in the ACC. Tech ranked fourth nationally in passing yards allowed (168.8 ypg). That went hand-in-hand with a revitalized pass rush that returns plenty of production after ranking second in the ACC with 39 sacks, led by edge rusher Antwaun Powell-Ryland (9.5 sacks).

The Virginia Tech Hokies have 11 league titles and six division championships. Frank Beamer elevated the program into a national contender during his time as head coach from 1987 through 2015. Beamer turned an obscure program into a national brand.

Beamer is the all time winningest coach at Virginia Tech with 249 wins and 23 bowl games. In 1999, Beamer led the Hokies to an 11-1 record and a final national ranking of 2nd. It was the greatest campaign in Hokie history. From 1993 through 2011, The Hokies finished in the national Top 25 every year but three. During that span, Virginia Tech finished in the Top 10 seven times. In 2018, Beamer was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Bill Dooley was Beamer’s predecessor and had success as well, with three bowl games and winning records in his final seven seasons.

Some of the Virginia Tech legends include Frankj Loria, Jim Pyne, Bruce Smith, Carroll Dale, Michael Vick, Core Moore, Cornell Brown, and Jake Grove.

Of great concern is that since 2011, the Hokies have only four Top 25 finishes. But current head coach Brent Pry coached under Beamer and knows the special potential of the program. In 2023, Pry led the Hokies to a Military Bowl win, sparking hope for new glory in the years ahead.
