Chick-Fil-a Bowl

The Chick-Fil-A Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee



While Tennessee has been a pleasant surprise in their turn around, Virginia Tech is still a better team. Like I said a while back, VA Tech’s defense is perhaps the best in this decade at turning turnovers into points. That should be what leads VA tech to victory tonight, with the strong running of Ryan Williams.


Prospects to Watch in this Game


Virginia Tech, Cornerback, Stephen Virgil: Yet another of the solid corner prospects to come out of Virginia Tech in the past couple of years. He is a little on the smallish size and his makeup speed is questionable, but the pedigree he has coming from this program should garner him plenty of attention come draft day.


Tennessee, Defensive Tackle, Dan Williams: A big body in the middle, Williams has had his draft stock shooting skyward in the past few weeks. He has enough athleticism to pressure the quarterback, but also enough size to stuff the run. The fact that he hasn’t been heard from until this year does raise an eyebrow or two, but he is likely to come off the board in the first two rounds come April.
