1. Will the short-handed Hokies mesh?
As I project right now, the Hokies will be starting plenty of inexperienced and young players. Out of all of the positions in football, what comes to mind when considering positions where you wouldn’t like to have inexperienced players? To me there’s a few that comes to mind. Cornerback: inexperienced players at cornerback will get torched, we’ve seen it time and time again. Quarterback: well, duh. Running back: especially for a team like Virginia Tech, you need to be able to put the ball in the hands of a reliable running back, ball security is not an option.
Virginia Tech just so happens to be fairly shorthanded at all of those positions.
Quarterback I think is the safest position, Pop Watson truly belongs in college football, but he doesn’t have the experience that a Kyron Drones would have. It’s safe to say that Virginia Tech will be without Drones as he is still wrestling with some injuries…
