2009 Virginia Tech Football Preview: Special Teams

Virginia Tech puts emphasis on special teams every year, and this year has
the potential to be one of the best special teams years in Tech history. The
Hokies have a lot of talented athletes who are ready to contribute in some way.
Not all will make the playing rotation on offense or defense, but they will have
a chance to make their impact on special teams.

Tech’s special teams weren’t particularly good in 2008. There wasn’t a lot of
depth on the team, and there were many unathletic walk-ons who couldn’t change
directions quickly playing special teams. As a result, the Hokies allowed three
punt returns for touchdowns, and didn’t come away with the big special teams
plays that they are accustomed to.
