Notes and Quotes from James Franklin's Oct. 14 Media Availability Ahead of Georgia Tech

Virginia Tech football coach James Franklin offered optimism ahead of Saturday’s ACC matchup against Georgia Tech, highlighting potential returns from key players after a pair of narrow losses. Guard Brody Meadows, listed as probable, showed encouraging progress in practice and could suit up for the game.

Franklin praised Meadows’ leadership and physical presence, calling him a “6-foot-7, 320-pound jolly giant” whose experience and positive attitude make him invaluable to the offensive line. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Emmett Laws and running back Bill Davis were among several untested players working with the scout team, while left tackle Justin Terry’s return remains uncertain but would provide a significant boost if cleared soon.

Franklin also addressed the team’s recent penalty issues, acknowledging enthusiasm as a strength but stressing the need for discipline in high-leverage situations.
