Virginia Tech Preview: Absolutes & More Absolutes

For those who read this column on an ongoing basis, it may appear that we basically cut and pasted last week’s Absolutes and Desirables for this week’s Virginia Tech game. Not really, but it’s true that many of the keys to success against the Yellow Jackets are critical to success this week against the Hokies.

Virginia will need another solid effort from the running game. It will also need to avoid any special teams breakdowns, win the field-position battle, protect Marques Hagans and have a productive day from the passing game. It may seem repetitive, but at this time of year championship teams consistently do the things that allow them to win.

As it was with FSU, this is a big game and everything is an Absolute.
