Every time you turn on the television to watch the Hokies play, you hear the
announcers go on and on about Frank Beamer’s special teams units. They’ll
remark that Tech is outstanding at blocking kicks, and generally does everything
well on special teams. But that’s not all true. The Hokies still do some
things well on special teams, but there is room for a lot of improvement in many
areas.
