Belk Bowl Match-Up Series: The Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

We’ve rolled through the quarterback breakdown, as well as the breakdown for the running backs, and now it’s time to evaluate the wide receiver match-ups in advance of the Belk Bowl to try to gauge which team has an edge.

For all intents and purposes of this discussion, we decided to group the wide receivers and tight ends together, as they are used nearly interchangeably within these two offenses in Virginia Tech and Arkansas.

Virginia Tech has emerged with one of the top receiving groups in the entire ACC. Led by their all-time leading receiver in junior Isaiah Ford, the Hokies have used their passing attack to overwhelm their opponents all season long.
