   I hope these guys (along with Drones) surprise everyone and have a big year.

   The key to the passing game is the QB whisperer, i.e., Montgomery. It’s up to him to change Drones technique and mental approach to a passing game. It’s meaningless if the team is loaded with quality receivers and the QB can’t get them the ball, e.g., last year as you mentioned.

   @Chris Coleman, Precisely what were Donovan Greene's injuries in the past? Were they recurrent? In other words, does he have an Achilles' Heel? What can VT do to keep him healthy this season?

   Sounds kind of bleak. How good are any of these players in support of the running game?

   So much of keeping receivers healthy is having a QB who is not constantly hanging them out to dry with passes just enough off mark to be catchable while leaving the receiver in awkward exposed positions. Unless Drones has really improved his accuracy, then we will probably need a lot of that receiving room. Hopefully Montgomery can dial up plays where the receivers are so wide open hat even a bad pass goes for a catch and YAC (like Oklahoma and Alabama used to do).

   We need dues to be completely wide the Hell open. First ball A Greene drops, bench him.

   "It’s very important that those guys build chemistry together and work on things that will help the Hokies win football games. After all, that’s what they are getting paid to do." [sigh] There was once a time when a team didn't have to pay players to "...build chemistry together and work on things that will help the Hokies win football games...." Maybe I'm just a silly romantic.

    Great points, Chris. My biggest worry for the first game against South Carolina is that Shane will design a defense to shut down or slow down the run game and force Drones to throw to a young, inexperienced, and injury-prone group of receivers more than planned. Virginia Tech has to stick with the run no matter the circumstances. South Carolina’s defensive ends are strong and fast and will tee off on Drones in clear passing situations, so the game plan needs to include moving the pocket, QB draws, and other ways to keep the defense guessing. Otherwise, they'll easily win by 3+ scores.

Virginia Tech has to stick with the run no matter the circumstances. South Carolina’s defensive ends are strong and fast and will pressure Drones hard in clear passing situations, so the VT game plan needs to include moving the pocket, QB draws, and other ways to keep the defense guessing. Otherwise, SC win by at least 3 scores in my opinion.

    KD was probably injured by the time the Rutgers game happened.

    @CC Precisely what were Donovan Greene's past health problems? Were these recurrent injuries. In other words, excuse the pun, what's his Achilles' Heel? What can the staff do to keep him healthy this season?

    Joel Caleb- the model for showing up from high school and thinking he made it. Hopefully Seldon has a little more work ethic.
