VIRGINIA TECH’S OFFENSE<br />

in 2007 the Hokies’ offense ...<br />

averaging 29.31 points per contest.<br />

yards passing and 16 touchdowns, and 394 yards rushing<br />

and seven scores.<br />

• saw four senior receivers with 1,000 career receiving yards<br />

on the same team for the first time in school history.<br />

• has had seven different receivers catch passes of 32<br />

yards or longer.<br />

During Bryan Stinespring’s six seasons<br />

• averaged 358 yards and 31.0 points per game.<br />

• finished with four of its top six all-time teams in<br />

total offense and three of its top five teams in both<br />

total points and passing yardage.<br />

Player of the year for 2004 in Bryan Randall.<br />

• had 19 players sign with NFL teams.<br />

"We want, and expect, to<br />

attack both the defense<br />

and the field of play in<br />

a concerted, aggressive<br />

approach. We want to<br />

be able to use schemes<br />

and formations that<br />

utilize our talents while<br />

placing pressure on the<br />

opponent to adjust and<br />

defend. Our goal is to set<br />

the tempo of the game<br />

and dictate the style of<br />

play that is indicative of<br />

Virginia Tech football."<br />
