READ

The coach's read

SHELL AIgrounded in the numbers above

KEY 01

Load the box early and make them earn it on first down. They run the ball 60.6% of the time on first down, and their first-down PPA of 0.08 tells you they are barely moving the needle when they do. Stop the run on first down and you put them behind the chains before the series even gets going.

KEY 02

On third and short, do not give ground. They run 67.4% of the time when they need short yardage, so your front has to win the line of scrimmage in those moments. A stop there ends the drive. Let them gash you up the middle and you are handing them free conversions.

KEY 03

Their offense is not an explosive unit. A 12.2% explosive rate and an overall PPA of 0.13 tell you this is a volume-dependent attack, not a big-play attack. Play disciplined, avoid giving up chunk plays, and let their own inefficiency work against them. They will not consistently hurt you in one shot, so do not overreact and give up easy stuff trying to take something away.

Bottom lineVirginia Tech is a run-first offense that lives on first-down gains and short-yardage conversions, but their overall efficiency numbers are below average. Win the line of scrimmage consistently, convert their third-down attempts into punts, and you take away the only formula they have to move the ball.
