Virginia Tech Football: PFF Grades and Snap Counts For Every Player in Saturday’s Win Against Virginia
Virginia Tech maintained their dominance of the Virginia Cavaliers in a 37-17 win. Freshman quarterback Pop Watson lead the offense and completely showed out. He passed for 254 yards and a touchdown while running for 48 yards and a touchdown. He showed incredible poise in the pocket for a freshman, and made some incredible runs against a Virginia defense which has multiple NFL prospects.
The defense was fairly dominant too. Virginia scored just three points at half and Virginia finished with only 274 yards on 4.0 yards per play. Tony Muskett threw for no touchdowns and two interceptions and the Hokies' defense had yet another strong performance under Coach Marve.
