Tuten is a huge loss

But we could never do a good job of opening holes even for Tuten. A lot of outside stretches and he did the work. If, and this is a gigantic if, the offensive line could allow inside the tackle running with an actual running back, I think we can replace Tutens production even if not replacing his talent.

Tuten and APR

21 out of 22 returning starters in 2024. Same regular season record as 2023

Nobody... Pry went 3 wins before Tut. Then 6-6 with him twice. Now what?**

Well, Tech looked like a team on the rise at the end of 2023. Returned

Don't know about terrible, but will take a step back. 4 reasons:
Gobbler Guru • 01/14/25 05:07 PM ET
5. We will lose 2-3 games when we were the favorite. Pry's record.**
George Baylor • 01/15/25 07:58 AM ET
1 is wrong. We have a year 3 starter returning

I don't think we'll be terrible....but we'll be around .500
TekkNerd • 01/14/25 03:49 PM ET
Tech needs a QB, a QB Coach to develop them and a competent OC. Tuff Sched
Flanker • 01/14/25 03:42 PM ET
Eh, I know Drones 2024 was disappointing but he proved plenty in 2023. If
BG Hokie • 01/14/25 04:24 PM ET
He's too slow and he can't throw.
Flanker • 01/14/25 07:49 PM ET
Drones just isn't a natural passer
MKD • 01/14/25 04:33 PM ET
A rSR in his 3rd year as a starter severely limits play calling for any
BG Hokie • 01/14/25 06:44 PM ET
Tech needs a QB who can overcome poor playcalling by an inept OC.
Flanker • 01/14/25 08:16 PM ET
Limits? Perhaps but few don’t. My hope is Bowen can/will use Drones better
marcbvtgm • 01/14/25 06:39 PM ET
So you want a SLOW QB to use his legs to set up throws that he CAN'T MAKE?
Flanker • 01/14/25 08:31 PM ET
I'm not sure we will be terrible, but Pry has yet to prove he can
BuffaloTraceHokie • 01/14/25 03:09 PM ET
More than half are non P5 players, all 3* level guys..

Maybe getting players who were "developed" by other programs is the key....

Are they good enough for us to lead by 2+ scores in the final minute(s)?**
hokiepro • 01/14/25 01:54 PM ET
We won't be terrible next season. Just average and mediocre as usual
Zanderhokie • 01/14/25 01:54 PM ET
Yawn.......Ask again when we see on field results.

Chris - There seems to be a big disparity between 247 and On3. Do you know
VTTyson • 01/14/25 03:30 PM ET
Oh, I'm sure you can look at the data and argue for both.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/14/25 05:14 PM ET
I think it is about filling needs.

I don't really think we're comparing ourselves to P2.

"hampton Sydney level budget"...
JRHokie • 01/14/25 02:51 PM ET
Eh, I LOVE VT. I'm just kind of pessimistic about the 25 team... Certainly
BG Hokie • 01/14/25 02:18 PM ET
I think your assessment is wrong.
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/14/25 01:57 PM ET
EXACTLY. We can pretty easily be better than we are.
