7-6. 8-5. 7-6. The past three seasons in Blacksburg, Virginia, have deviated from the enduring gold standard Frank Beamer has established as the patriarch of the Virginia Tech Hokies’ football program.

The American Athletic Conference, also known as “The American” or the AAC for short, owns a number of compelling subplots this season. Navy joins the league and will force opponents to defend the triple option. Memphis, under Justin Fuente, rose from the ashes last season but also embarrassed itself in the so-called “Miami Beach Brawl” […]

They’ve both endured ugly off-field incidents and general friction with players who were supposed to be anchors of their defense. They have […]
