QB Drones had a 17-3 ratio and can run as well.&nbsp; As long as he stays healthy this unit should continue to improve.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My run projection is 5.05 per carry.&nbsp; I like the group, but it\u2019s not at or near the top of the ACC.&nbsp; OL continuity however, cannot be overstated.&nbsp; Nine of their top 12 tacklers return.&nbsp; Tech looks average in the trenches, but should improve defending the pass.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensive sacks rose from 23 (in 11 games) to 39 (in 13 games).&nbsp; Any drop in pass pressure should be minimal.&nbsp; The PK was 22-24.&nbsp; The pieces are there for continued improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Virginia Tech Football 2024 Predicted Total Wins Prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8-4, and with so much returning talent, that really should be the floor.&nbsp;
