Thought his running was good but his passing blocking was extremely good

He made the right decisions against USCe unlike the other RBs who struggled with picking the right hole. Of course, USC was bringing 5 every play so to get 4 YPC is pretty good especially for someone who didn't break off any long runs.

Thoughts on Hawkins after week 1?
Nomad_Hokie • 09/03/25 02:04 PM ET
I thought he did pass the eye test
Riverguy • 09/04/25 08:43 PM ET
Idk man... I have both Tuten and Herbert above at least one of those guys
Nomad_Hokie • 09/06/25 04:07 PM ET
If drones would have hit him on that swing pass
VBpescador • 09/04/25 05:28 AM ET
...we could've made states!
Riverguy • 09/04/25 08:45 PM ET
Nice enough little town
LonghornHokie • 09/03/25 10:11 PM ET
Decent back, physical. He’s no Tuten, but he’s the closest thing we have. **
Zanderhokie • 09/03/25 09:19 PM ET
I would have given him 5-8 more carries than he got.**
Tech76G • 09/03/25 08:07 PM ET
Bread n butter **
astrohokie • 09/03/25 07:38 PM ET
Lacks break away speed. Decent between the tackles
OGHookie • 09/03/25 07:29 PM ET
All ya got, is that**
astrohokie • 09/03/25 06:42 PM ET
I thought he was decent.**
reestuart • 09/03/25 05:46 PM ET
He was as advertized
crazylane • 09/03/25 05:10 PM ET
Word on Stewart is YAC king
Nomad_Hokie • 09/06/25 04:16 PM ET
Looked more than serviceable to me. I expect he'll have some nice games.**
marcbvtgm • 09/03/25 04:18 PM ET
Jury still out but not optimistic he will be a consistent play maker.**
BG Hokie • 09/03/25 03:40 PM ET
Good vision, just lacks that quick acceleration like Tuten**
MKD • 09/03/25 04:15 PM ET
And Khalil Herbert.**
likehokies • 09/03/25 05:45 PM ET
decent but not great. tough to tell after one game.

AirborneHokie96 • 09/03/25 02:36 PM ET
I thought and think we need to give Hawkins the rock more. But, it's also
91HokieBob • 09/03/25 03:14 PM ET
It’s because we need both of them. And the one we saw was just OK.**
Maroon Effect • 09/03/25 07:54 PM ET
We need a passing game threat to open up the running lanes more**
AirborneHokie96 • 09/03/25 08:51 PM ET
If Drones was a more consistent passer, then VT may not need to depend as
VTHokie2000 • 09/04/25 01:49 PM ET
My recollection was that he looks like a fine running back.
Pride_and_Joy • 09/03/25 02:30 PM ET
No one would question Hawkings 155 yards rushed.......
jonnyhawk • 09/03/25 02:09 PM ET
C'mon Johnny, give it a rest... we get it. We should play cupcakes
summervillehokie • 09/03/25 05:00 PM ET
I did not say "we should play cupcakes" did I, I said in Game 1.
jonnyhawk • 09/03/25 05:09 PM ET
You get your wish next year with two pre-season warm ups.
Truthahn • 09/03/25 02:49 PM ET
That's a loser mentality
SpeakToDamien • 09/03/25 10:45 PM ET
Again, not what I'm saying, just saying don't play them in game #1.
jonnyhawk • 09/04/25 10:35 AM ET
Beggars cannot be choosers
AirborneHokie96 • 09/04/25 12:59 PM ET
Not in game 1
jonnyhawk • 09/04/25 02:08 PM ET
Program has costs and needs the revenue. VT holds little to no leverage.**
AirborneHokie96 • 09/04/25 02:16 PM ET
Thank god someone on this board with a pulse! Amen brother!**
jonnyhawk • 09/03/25 05:10 PM ET
It depends on whether you want better television coverage which means...
EDGEMAN • 09/03/25 03:49 PM ET
Again, I say, just game 1. Not cupcake(((((s))))). First game.**
