Virginia Tech football announced their weekly players of the week after their win against Marshall. Four Hokies found themselves on the list, with a combination
of two offensive players, one defensive player, and one special teams player.
The Hokies did show out against the Marshall Thundering Herd last week, with plenty of players with a case to receive this honor. On offense, Bhayshul Tuten made a case for himself, leading the Hokies' running back room, and finishing with a stat-line that included 120 rushing yards and a touchdown. In the receiver room, theres also a couple of players who seemed eligible for the award. Jaylin Lane and Stephen Gosnell lead the teams in receptions and receiving yards, respectively.
Per usual on defense, there's also a lump sum of candidates. There's Keli Lawson who was everywhere on defense, tying for a team-high five tackles, and finishing with a game-high three pass deflections. Cornerbacks Dante Lovett and Mansoor Delane both made cases for entirely different reasons. Mansoor Delane bounced back after a poor weak one performance, picking up an interception on the way. Dante Lovett was completely solid in coverage all game, finishing with an 89.
Special teams, just like offense and defense, had multiple standout performers. Jaylin Lane also re-enters this conversation on special teams for his 58-yard punt return which helped blow the game open for the Hokies. Peter Moore also downed 4-for-6 of his punts, finishing with a very respectable 42.7 punt average. Kicker John Love was also special again, for the second week in a row. He remained perfect on his kicks, going 5-for-5 on the day, with a long of 41 yards.
