Scores in big win Lane hauled in all four targets for 91 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 37-17 victory over Virginia.

Impact Lane had his biggest outing since the Old Dominion game, tallying his second-most yards of the season and scoring for the second time this fall. Lane will have one more opportunity to suit up for the Hokies in the bowl game.

Another quiet outing Lane accrued three receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards during Saturday's 31-7 win versus Stanford.

Impact Lane continued to be limited in this Hokies offense. The wideout hasn't hit 50 yards since his seven-catch, 106-yard, one-touchdown explosion in Week 3. He's still seeing his fair share of targets (16 over the past three games) but he's been unable to turn that into consistent production as the season has worn on.

Scores on the ground vs. Miami Lane compiled four receptions (on five targets) for 49 yards during Friday's 38-34 loss against Miami (FL). He also had a 20-yard touchdown run.

Impact Lane remained a consistently involved receiver with five targets against the Hurricanes. He scored his second touchdown of the year on a 20-yard carry, only the third handoff he's taken all year. With a rather lukewarm Virginia Tech passing attack led by quarterback Kyron Drones, don't expect Lane to stuff the stat sheet with any sort of consistency.

Held in check in loss Lane tallied two receptions (on six targets) for 38 yards during Saturday's 26-23 defeat to Rutgers.

Impact Virginia Tech's entire passing game was bottled up against Rutgers, and Lane felt the effects of that. Coming off a big performance last week against Old Dominion, Lane was held to his worst stat-line of 2024. Still, he saw six targets and will remain a focal point of this passing game moving forward, one that's been tepid with quarterback Kyron Drones.

Big day in win Lane hauled in 7 of 9 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 37-17 victory versus Old Dominion.

Impact Lane had his biggest game of the season against Old Dominion. He finally had a true wide receiver one performance, topping 100 yards for the first time in 2024 as well as scoring his first touchdown. Lane has been an integral part of this offense all year, but that was finally reflected on the stat sheet as well.

If he keeps seeing those kinds of targets, he's bound to have a breakthrough performance. His four catches led the Hokies on Saturday.

Sees six targets Lane tallied four receptions (on six targets) for 62 yards during Saturday's 34-27 overtime defeat against Vanderbilt.

Impact Lane was looked at plenty by quarterback Kyron Drones, which is a good sign for the receiver moving forward. Lane should continue to be a staple of this passing attack, and he'll look to continue building chemistry with Drones next week against a much weaker foe in Marshall.

Finds end zone Lane caught four passes for 55 yards and a score versus Tennessee State on Saturday.

Impact This is Lane's first touchdown of the season, but I worry about the upside in this passing attack. Chase Cunningham is averaging under 200 passing yards per game.
