08/12/22 - QB Grant Wells, rSr/2024, Virginia Tech

During Virginia Tech's run of 27 consecutive bowl appearances, four Hokies quarterbacks earned conference offensive player of the year honors: Jim Druckenmiller, Michael Vick, Bryan Randall and Tyrod Taylor. Maurice DeShazo, Marcus Vick, Logan Thomas, Josh Jackson and Jerod Evans were pretty darn good as well. None averaged as many passing yards per game as Tech's presumptive 2022 starter did last season. Caveats aplenty surround Grant Wells' numbers at Marshall last year, but nonetheless they heighten curiosity regarding the Hokies' offense as they start the Brent Pry era. Wells transferred to Virginia Tech after throwing for 3,535 yards last season, a 271.9 per-game average that ranked 16th nationally and second in Conference USA. The only Hokie ever to average more passing yards was Don Strock in 1972 at 294.8.

Yes, it's been a minute, or more precisely, half a century. Now about those caveats. Pry is a rookie head coach with a defensive background, and his offensive coordinator, Tyler Bowen, was a part of run-first attacks at Penn State and Fordham. Conversely, Marshall threw on 52.2% of its snaps last season, a ratio that would be rare in Blacksburg. How rare? Well, the last year in which Virginia Tech attempted more passes than rushes was Strock's record season of '72, when by the way, his backup was Super Bowl champion coach Bruce Arians. The same trends apply to sheer number of passes. - Roanoke Times
