Virginia Tech Looks to Lean on Jeffrey Overton Jr. Against Stanford’s Struggling Run Defense

Coach James Franklin said the Hokies need cleaner pass protection to help Ethan Grunkemeyer avoid hits and lift the offense, which has struggled this season.

Good things happen when Overton is involved in the offense. He’s tied with Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith — who happens to be a Heisman Trophy frontrunner — for 12th in the nation in all-purpose yards per game, and he ranks second in the ACC to Duke’s Nate Sheppard for rushing yards.
