Three Things Virginia Tech Must Fix Ahead Of It’s Matchup With Syracuse
1. 3rd Down Efficiency
The Hokies converted just 13% of their third-down attempts yesterday and struggled to move the football in the running game, which is their primary offensive strategy. This week, the Hokies will face Syracuse, a team with a very explosive offense, meaning they cannot afford to take risks as they are more likely to pay for mistakes than they did against Georgia Tech. Syracuse is currently averaging 30.9 points and 469.9 total yards per game. If the Hokies third-down struggles continue, it’s likely that Syracuse will win this game by a wide margin.
2. The Run Game
The Hokies running game wasn’t as effective as Virginia Tech fans are used to seeing, which could be a significant problem if it continues this week. The team is currently averaging 195.5 rushing yards per game, but they managed only 89 total rushing yards yesterday, as Georgia Tech shut down their ground attack throughout the game. Adding to the concern, star running back Bhayshul Tuten was injured in yesterday’s game, and it is uncertain whether he will play next week. Reports indicate that he was seen in a walking boot at the end of the game. It is also important to note that as a result, Tuten’s streak of nine consecutive games with a touchdown has ended, and this marks the third time this season he has been held to under 100 rushing yards.
3. Passing game needs to be more consistent
This year we have seen the Hokies offense come out slow or struggle with throwing the football and that was no different yesterday. The Virginia Tech offense managed only 134 passing yards and averages 181.5 yards per game this season. This will likely need to improve, as we saw yesterday, teams will focus on stopping the run and force the Hokies to rely on the passing game. You also can’t rely on your defense to hold opponents to just six points and consistently provide your offense with great field position, especially against a potent offense like Syracuse’s.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.

But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

Hey, like it or not, sometimes in the age of NIL it can be a popularity contest. If fans like you, it could mean greater visibility and more lucrative deals. Perhaps that was the mission here, and we all know it worked.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
