Virginia Tech’s 2020 football schedule was released this morning.  Unlike most years, I really don’t have too much to say about.  I think Tech’s schedule is fine.  Sure, I could get out a magnifying glass and nipick certain things, but any writer could do that for any school.  Generally speaking, I think the schedule sets up fine, and I’m happy with it.

I don’t particularly like the fact that the Hokies travel to Louisville and Pitt six days apart, and I wish the Hokies had more than one Saturday home game in October.  However, packing 12 games into 13 weeks for 14 teams – or 15, if you include Notre Dame – is hard.  Nobody’s schedule is going to be perfect.

If I were a Louisville fan, I could nitpick the fact that the Cardinals have to travel to Notre Dame the week before playing in-state rival Kentucky.  If I were a Georgia Tech fan, I could nitpick the fact that the Yellow Jackets play four road games – UNC, VT, Pitt and Syracuse – in a five-game stretch before closing the season with three straight games against Notre Dame, Miami and Georgia.  Point being, everybody could find a bone to pick with their schedule. 

Therefore, this article will focus on the positives that I see when looking at the schedule.  It’s also going to be rather short, because like I said, I don’t see too many talking points to dial in on.
