Did the Hokies overachieve or were they underrated? Remember, this team was not given any consideration as a top 25 team in the preseason. Yet, they are doing more than just competing for a first-time ACC title - they are rated in the top five of their conference in most every facet of the game (except passing offense and punting). The typical "Beamer Ball" that fans have become accustomed to has found its way back…defense, special teams and QB play. So, no doubt, the huge question in Blacksburg this off-season will be who succeeds Bryan Randall at QB. Randall played the biggest role in their '04 surge with his running and decision skills. Everyone around the country wants to know if Marcus Vick - who doesn't quite have the same talent levels as his namesake - can return and earn back the reigns. All signs point to yes, for now. The running game isn't missing much of a beat now that Mike Imoh is carving up defenses with Cedric Humes. The production at receiver has been the biggest surprise with so much youth. If Tech can find a way to build the secondary, and the QB play is half of what Randall provided, the Hokies won't have to stare up at other teams ranked higher for long.
