College Football Predictions Offense: Senior Tyrod Taylor enters his third season as the starter. He developed as a passer last season, partly because his receivers were more experienced and partly because he was more poised in the pocket. Splitting carries among three tailbacks is nearly impossible. The top option is sophomore Ryan Williams, who ran for a school-record 1,655 yards last season. Right next to him is junior Darren Evans, who in 2008 ran for 1,265 yards. But Evans missed all of last season after tearing his ACL in the preseason. The third back is David Wilson, who was considered one of the nation’s best coming out of high school. The three top receivers are all juniors who saw significant action the past two seasons: Jarrett Boykin, Danny Coale and Dyrell Roberts. Boykin was the best of the bunch last season, catching 40 passes for 835 yards and five touchdowns. Sportsbook.Com has the Virginia Tech Hokies' 2011 BCS National Championship Odds at +2500.

College Football Predictions Defense: defensive line coach Charley Wiles feels okay about his new ends, senior Steven Friday and junior Chris Drager. But end Jason Worilds’ early departure for the NFL after last season left Wiles searching for depth this spring.junior Barquell Riverstore his left quadriceps tendon during offseason workouts, had surgery in early March and was expected to miss five to six months. The Secondary wasn’t hit as hard as the defensive line was, but did lose two key starters. They lost free safety Kam Chancellor and field cornerback Stephan Virgil. The new free safety, junior Eddie Whitley, is a natural fit for the position, unlike Chancellor, whose bulky body made him better suited to play strong safety. The Virginia Tech Hokies' NCAA Betting Odds win total is at 9.5, with the Over at Even money.
