The Hokies have played 4 games:
September 26 NC State:
VT ran for 314 yards 7.7 ypc
NC State's rush defense against its other opponents:
WF: 149 yards 3.0 ypc
Pitt: 92 yards 2.5 ypc
UVA: 82 yards 2.8 ypc
Duke: 129 yards 3.1 ypc
October 3 Duke:
VT ran for 324 yards 6.5 ypc
Duke's rush defense against other opponents:
ND 178 yards 4.2 ypc
BC 84 yards 2.0 ypc
UVA 188 yards 5.1 ypc
Cuse 28 yards 1.2 ypc
NC State 118 yards 3.1 ypc
October 10 UNC
VT ran for 260 yards 5.4 ypc
UNC's rush defense against other opponents:
Cuse: 68 yards 1.9 ypc
BC: 40 yards 2.1 ypc
FSU: 241 yards 6.7 ypc
October 17 BC:
VT rushed for 350 yards 8.5 ypc against BC
BC's rush defense against other opponents:
Duke: 134 yards 4.6 ypc
TX State: 128 yards 3.2 ypc
UNC: 176 yards 4.5 ypc
Pitt: 98 yards 2.5 ypc
On the season, VT is averaging 312 yards per game and 6.9 ypc, against defenses that are giving up less than 120 rushing yards a game against everyone else. While it appears that WF's defense has improved slightly with the extended break, VT's rushing offense brings it to another level with Khalil Herbert (9.7 ypc - he should be on the short list for the Heisman) and dual threat QB Hendon Hooker (7.4 ypc). The good news is that VT's defense has struggled this year, allowing 31 points per game and 6.4 yards per play, but the idea of the WF rush defense, which is arguably the weakest of any of VT's opponents, against the VT rush offense looks really bad -- on paper.
