OUTLOOK
Strong defense and special teams
have become the definitions
of Beamer Ball. That combination
is about to be put to the test
with so much player turnover
in these departments. Representing
uncertainty more than any foreseeable
problems, kicker Matt Waldron
and punter Brent Bowden both
need replacing. With only five
starters returning on the defensive
side, job opportunities are
readily available, especially
in the secondary. The opposite
is true for the other side of
the football as the Hokies are
loaded with skill talent. Tyrod
Taylor enters his fourth year
as a starter, and did a wonderful
job cutting back on the interceptions
his junior season. The unstoppable
variable of TT’s quick
feet will still cause defenders
to play on their heels and will
keep opening everything else
up. Ryan Williams emerged as
the Rookie of the Year in the
ACC after star running back
Darren Evans was lost for the
year to injury. Evans is back
now. The receivers are no longer
young freshmen trying to fill
other people's shoes, and they
run plenty deep. The biggest
offensive concern is replacing
two All-ACC Blockers (Render
and Wang) and two quality tight
ends (Boone and Wheeler). Virginia
Tech is no longer looked at
as the sole team to beat with
so many quality ACC Coastal
Division foes collectively raising
the levels of their programs.
With defense and special teams
being the biggest question marks,
Virginia Tech is going to replenish
per usual and should be just
fine. Nobody in this league
goes to a BCS bowl without having
to climb the Blue Ridge Mountains.
