VT's James Franklin believes the Hokies have 'won the offseason'

James Franklin believes Virginia Tech has won the offseason, though he emphasizes that the Hokies must now translate this progress into the actual season. Evidence is needed to prove the program is heading in a positive direction. This comes as Virginia Tech has not appeared in a major bowl game since the 2012 Sugar Bowl, making the transition from offseason success to on-field performance critical for the team's current trajectory and overall standing.
