As we jump back to the offensive side of the ball, we take a look at the room many folks are laser focused on (outside the obvious Quarterback question). The Running Back room in 2022 was not particularly healthy. There was some talent there, but Malachi Thomas, the Hokies #1 was dinged up pretty harshly in practice late in the Fall ramp up, and just never got healthy. There were some other bright young prospects that filled in but, frankly, just could not run the ball effectively in 2022.
The Theory vs. Reality
This is always the case in football.
