Virginia Tech backs Branden Ore and Kenny Lewis aim for strong rushing duo
Virginia Tech's Brandon Ore and Kenny Lewis are poised to form a potent backfield for the Hokies. Ore, who logged 1,137 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in 2006 and earned first team All-ACC, started fall practice listed third on the depth chart but expects to climb. Ore cited a summer absence due to a personal matter and emphasized earning his spot through daily work while Lewis, who had 215 rushing yards and two scores in seven games last season, remains ready as part of the backfield.
