The identity of Virginia Tech's offense was pretty clear last season. They had one of the best running backs in the country with Bhayshul Tuten and a dynamic runner at the quarterback position with Kyron Drones. Drones injuries prevented him from playing down the stretch, but Tuten finished among the nation's rushing leaders and Virginia Tech was 5th in the ACC in rushing.
Braydon Bennett has spent the past five seasons with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers and was their leading rusher this past season. In his career, Bennett has 321 carries for 1,954 yards and 24 touchdowns, while averaging 6.1 yards per carry. According to Pro Football Focus, Bennett finished with a 79.1 grade in 417 snaps. It was the second-highest grade on Coastal Carolina's offense. He finished with a 68.9 grade in 2023 in 291 snaps.
The offensivel line is going to be key in determining how effective this rushing attack is. The Hokies are losing key players such as Xavier Chaplin and Braelin Moore, but they have a new offensive line coach in former West Virginia OL coach Matt Moore and he has brought some of his former players with him in hopes of quickly getting the OL on track in Blacksburg.
