Robert, Sam, and Pete discussed Virginia Tech's 73-3 victory over VMI. Robert described the atmosphere as "cautious excitement" and praised the crowd and LED lights. He also mentioned sitting with Billy Ray, who repeatedly joked about Pete's preference for Dan Mullen.

The group highlighted the offense's decisiveness, with running backs Overton and Hawkins scoring multiple touchdowns. They acknowledged VMI was a weak opponent but noted the team's aggressive mentality under James Franklin. Defensively, the Hokies showed speed and physical dominance, recording 18 tackles for loss.
