1) Situational play calling…it seemed like we didn’t want to go into a two-minute drill before the half with UNC. Do you see us doing more situational play calling in this game in hopefully a lower risk environment? – NY Hokie1

Chris Coleman: A two-minute drill doesn’t fit the strengths and weaknesses of the VT offense when matched up against North Carolina.  I wrote about Tech’s wide receiver grades from the UNC game in yesterday’s Inside The Numbers article, but here they are again in case you didn’t read it…

Tre Turner: 21 plays, 67.4
Tayvion Robinson: 23 plays, 49.2
Kaleb Smith: 16 plays, 52.8
Jaden Payoute: 1 play, 59.9

Those are for the passing game only; running plays aren’t included.
