Virginia Tech, Bhayshul Tuten — Transfer running back Bhayshul Tuten will play a key role for Virginia Tech. (Jon Fleming)

King is gone, but Thomas returns, and the Hokies reached into the transfer portal to try and upgrade their production and durability.

Also don't want Black to change positions because we know certain people get hurt alot......

If a healthy Malachi is #2 then how much better must #1 be? It’s the most important story line for this offense.

I just hope the OL can block well for the RBs.

Hope Tuten can help us, but it’ll depend on our OL production obviously. They need to step it up.

I’m surprised Tuten was labeled starter. Not likely a big deal! We will see

Tuten looks tough. We need a physical runner. Herbet had a little bit of both speed and Power. You cannot really put the competition argument on Tuten. Its not his fault about the schedule so we really don’t know that he would not have had similar success vs other ACC teams. We bout to find out. Go Hokies
