Virginia Tech’s defense isn’t what it used to be

In year’s past, preparing for Virginia Tech’s defense was a difficult challenge.

Bud Foster was one of the top defensive coordinators in the game and he always did his best to confuse a quarterback and a play caller when he could. Using his famous “Robber Scheme,” Foster brought exotic looks on third down to confuse quarterbacks and rush them into bad decisions.

However, whether its COVID-19, injuries or guys just leaving the program, the Hokies have not been the same defense it once was. In fact, it is just a shell of its old self.
