  Virginia Tech is casting a wide net to try and build an explosive offense. It's been one of the main themes of the offseason for offensive coordinator Tyler Bowen and he's welcomed all ideas from his staff. That's why Keshawn King and Chance Black found themselves working with the wide receivers towards the end of spring camp. "Both guys are explosive and quick," Tech running backs coach Stu Holt said, on Monday. "Their change of direction is very good. They catch the ball well and their hands are good. That lends to the ability to run routes and to figure out how to manipulate defensive coverage. They have that naturally."

Holt said all six of his running backs can catch the ball out of the backfield, but King and Black have a chance to establish more of a hyphenate role beyond just motioning out of the backfield into the slot. Tech's running backs combined for 33 catches and 366 yards last year with Raheem Blackshear's 25 catches for 249 yards leading the way. "They are very, very talented players," Tech receivers coach Fontel Mines said. "Offensively, you don't want guys that are that talented sitting on the sideline...We are trying to find ways to get the ball into those guys' hands." - Roanoke Times
