Why not do this for UVA game?
Play Pop Watson at QB and Kyron Drones as Wide Receiver or at times RB. This way you have your two best athletes on the field. I think this would give the Wahoos fits.

Honestly we have very good running backs and a couple
Of good receivers.”Pros”? Are you kidding me? If we move him anywhere put him in a comfortable place on our bench!

Can’t think of one coach EVER where this idea would be in his strike zone

Why risk getting Drones hurt and hurting his NFL draft chances?

I would change it up definitely but….
Don’t forget that Monty is the coach and he believes in doing the same thing over and over. Very conservative due to talent level and also his nature. We need to mix it up and also blitz their QB. , so Meyer don’t do very often. Let our players play

Why? If you want to play Pop just play him....
Drones isn't even close to being one of our best runners. I'd say we have three RBs that are much better. Drones is the best of the QBs at running. I suspect that's why they play him, because they'd rather have that element in the offense as opposed to a better passer. I hope they start Pop....but we can't run him as much as we run Drones, he isn't built like that and he is average as a runner.

The running game is most effective when the D needs to account for Drones

Play him at TE
Look what that did for Logan Thomas’s career.

Drones is probably too short to play TE....He can't be a Logan Thomas
Logan Thomas is 6 foot 6 and was actually recruited by elite schools that are now in the P2 to play Tight End. I believe we were the only "serious football" school that wanted him as a QB. Drones is 6 foot 2 and we don't know much or anything about his hands. I do think his agent will let the NFL know that he is open to playing another position, but I think he is realistically done with football after the UVA game.

How about running a power I with Pop at QB and Drones at FB

Might as well. We’re 3-8 with nothing to lose for trying something wacky.
What are we afraid is going to happen if we mix it up? That we’re going to go 3-9 instead of 4-8? Either way, it’s a suck season. Might as well make it interesting.

You can run the Wildcat (Wild Hokie) out of that formation.

I suggested converting drones to FB 5 weeks ago but was shot down by the
