Penny Hart Records First GSU 1,000-Yard Season Since Albert Wilson

As a freshman, Penny Hart managed to put up numbers similar to Sidney Rice, Jabar Gaffney, and Marquise Lee.

The Virginia Tech Hokies started playing football in 1892 and joined the SoCon in 1922. When 1964 rolled around, they became an Independent before playing in the Big East and ACC. In total, the Hokies have played college football for 123 years.

Why do I bring this up? Because it has taken 123 years for the Hokies, who have 10 conference titles, eight All-Americans, and 712 total wins, to generate a 1,000-yard receiver. In 2015, Isaiah Ford became the first 1,000-yard receiver in Virginia Tech's history.
