Week 4: VT at Marshall

Good morning Hokies! Virginia Tech is on the road again, this time in Huntington, WV to battle it out with Marshall University. Kickoff is at noon, with the game being televised on ESPN2.

Game Outlook

Tech’s defense has their work cut out for them with RB Rasheen Ali on Marshall. Containing him is going to be very difficult, but could be the key to shutting down Marshall’s offense. Ali has 222 rushing yards with five touchdowns this year, making him the man to watch for the Thundering Herd.

Hokies QB1 Grant Wells is still listed as questionable heading into the matchup, so Kyron Drones could get the start once again. If Wells does play, it’ll be his first game back in Huntington after transferring to VT for the 2022 season. If Wells doesn’t play, Drones will be getting more valuable experience early in his career.
