The College Football season may be 6-7 weeks away but our man James Hayes has been deep in study and will provide his take and 2009 College Football Predictions<\/strong><\/a> on as many NCAA teams as he can before the 2009\/10 season kicks off.<\/p>\n We start from the top and move our way down so keep checking in for more college football previews<\/strong><\/a> for the 2009-2010 NCAA Football Season!<\/p>\n Our 2009 NCAA Football Predictions – Teams | Analysis | Previews Online<\/strong><\/p>\n Coach:<\/strong> Frank Beamer Although VT often folds like a cheap suit versus elite competition (5-24 record vs. Top 10 teams since head coach Frank Beamer signed on 22 seasons ago) the Hokies are routinely among the class of the Atlantic Coast Conference.<\/p>\n Virginia Tech Gambling Odds from Betus.com to win BCS: +1600<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2009 Tech should stay among the ACC\u2019s heavy hitters with its usual brand of run game and stout defense.<\/p>\n V-Tech won\u2019t have to worry about scores getting out of hand with the same old high-octane athletes on the defensive side of the ball. <\/a> End Jason Worilds is a nightmare for quarterbacks, linebacker Barquell Rivers will be around the field and free safety Kam Chancellor is an absolute specimen at 6\u201d4, 230.<\/p>\n Offensively, Blacksburg fans must hope QB Tyrod Taylor improves his passing while continuing to show Mike Vickish tendencies (on the field, not in the kennel).<\/p>\n Team Strengths<\/strong> The offensive tackles should be athletic with veteran former tight end Ed Wang and excellent second-year star Blake DeChristopher. The D can fly. As a two-time winner of the ACC\u2019s Coach of the Year, Beamer is worth his salary.<\/p>\n Keith Toston and Beau Johnson represent depth at tailback in case of an injury to Hunter and Patrick Lavine, Orie Lemon and Andre Sexton comprise one of the Big 12\u2019s best group of \u2019backers.<\/p>\n Team Weaknesses<\/strong> Tech has some stout competition in the conference, but not really in the Coastal division in which they play. Games versus Alabama, Nebraska and at Georgia Tech loom as tests.<\/p>\n The Hokies won the ACC title last season with a less talented team, so we will see what Beamer, the fleet-footed Taylor and a ravenous defense can do in 2009.<\/p>\n Check in with CappersPicks.com Best NCAA Football Sportsbook<\/strong><\/a> Review daily for exclusive College gambling bonus specials, and betting promotions.

\n 2008 Record:<\/strong> 10-4<\/p>\n
\nTaylor is dynamic and he\u2019ll be handing the ball off to a stable of tailbacks highlighted by soph Darren Evans. Evans took a beefy 287 totes last season and punched into the end zone 11 times.<\/p>\n
\nThe Hokies have seldom exhibited much of a passing game; this year shouldn\u2019t be much different. The secondary loses great cornerback Victor \u201cMacho\u201d Harris and his six interceptions. There could be questions at center with the departure of Ryan Shuman.<\/p>\n2009 Virginia Tech Hokies Record Prediction: 10-4<\/h3>\n
