For the second consecutive season, Virginia Tech will open up against Old Dominion, this time in Blacksburg. The Hokies will be seeking revenge after falling to the Monarchs in 2022 in what was Brent Pry’s first game as a head coach.

Other opponents visiting Lane Stadium this year include Purdue, North Carolina State, Pitt, Syracuse, and Wake Forest. Of these six teams, five of them earned 2022 postseason invites.

The Wolfpack will have a familiar quarterback when it comes to Blacksburg in Brennan Armstrong. The Virginia transfer reunited this offseason with his old offensive coordinator Robert Anae in Raleigh.

Pitt will also feature an ACC transfer quarterback in Phil Jurkovec. The former Boston College Eagles standout will look to carry an offense that’s losing talent thanks to a stellar senior class.

Virginia Tech’s road contests this year include travels to Boston College, Florida State, Louisville, Marshall, Rutgers, and in-state rival Virginia.

The Hokies and the Thundering Herd will do battle for the first time since 2018 while Tech will play Rutgers for the first time since 2012 in the Russell Athletic Bowl.

In-state rival Virginia will also enter its second season under head coach Tony Elliott. They will look to fill the void at quarterback most notably with Brennan Armstrong taking his talents to North Carolina State.

2023 marks the first year in which the ACC will play in its new 3-5-5 model, without divisions.

Virginia Tech’s annual Spring Game will be played on April 15 at 3 p.m.
