Hokies Prep For Test On ‘D’

Posted: Updated:

It's one thing when an opposing quarterback can pass-it's something totally different when he can pass and run. Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson can do it all.

He finished the 2011 regular season with more than 2,000 passing yards and 1,100 rushing yards. Robinson also accounted for 34 touchdowns by using either his arm or feet. In his last game against Ohio State, he rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing three more touchdowns.

On defense, the Hokies allow 314 yards of total offense-good enough for 12th in the country. Tech ranks eighth in scoring defense, allowing 17 points per game.

The Sugar Bowl will kickoff Tuesday, January 3 at 8:30 p.m.
