After dropping their first game to Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech is looking to come back in a big way against Marshall in week two. According to the depth chart, Nick Gallo is still possibly awaiting a return in week three. Marshall won their game last week 45-3, but face a fair challenge against Virginia Tech. Marshall ran the ball very well in week one, planning to build on a 7.2 yards per carry against Stony Brook.
