As Virginia Tech's rebuild under Brent Pry continues, depth concerns remain for the Hokies at plenty of spots including safety where the backups entering the season were a true freshman and a former WR who moved to safety this offseason.
Ideally, you didn't want to have either of them start while they gain some experience, and especially didn't want to have to play both of them together for a high volume of snaps. Well unfortunately for the Hokies, that's where they've found themselves three games into the season.
Tech saw veteran starter Nasir Peoples suffer an injury after the Hokies' opening win over ODU, missing the past two weeks. With Peoples out again at Marshall and seemingly for an extended period of time, Brent Pry knows that the Hokies are missing what he brings to the table.
