Quarterback Kyron Drones has been making progress, throwing for 321 yards in his last game against Wake Forest. His dual-threat ability, with 344 rushing yards and 1,042 passing yards this season, poses a challenge for Syracuse. Running back Bhayshul Tuten and receiver Jaylin Lane have also been key contributors for the Hokies. Additionally, Virginia Tech’s defense has been impressive, recording 22 sacks this season and having the best passing defense in the ACC.
Why Syracuse can cover
Syracuse has had recent success against Virginia Tech, winning four out of their last five meetings. Their running game, led by quarterback Shrader and running back LeQuint Allen, could exploit Virginia Tech’s weakness in stopping the run. Syracuse’s passing game has also been effective, with multiple receivers averaging over 13 yards per reception. The Orange have a solid conversion rate on third downs and could capitalize on this against Virginia Tech’s defense.
