2. The biggest omission is in RB’s. Darren Evans is a hoss, but there are 2 phenoms lined up to play also. Ryan Williams (rFr) & David Wilson true (freshman) are both game changer types. David Wilson is so good I don’t think they can keep him off the field this year. Some feel Wilson is the best talent since Kevin Jones!

So your thoughts on Taylor running so much this year is simply wrong. VT has the backfield now to rival the ones of the past, and they don’t want Taylor to run unless necessary to prevent injury.

3. I disagree with your statement that VT would be a “dark-horse” contender if it beats Alabama big. If VT wins that game big, I think “dark-horse” doesn’t apply anymore than it would to any other team ranked within the top 7.

I was looking at #7 by coaches preseason poll which differers from your #10. Perhaps they know more about the RB situation at VT than you did.
