Gobbler Country’s Talking Turkey Reviews the Defensive Line and Special Teams

The Hokie Defensive line was not the shining star setup that it was in 2016 and 2017. The line lacked size, speed, and there was a good amount of inexperienced technique that ultimately caused the Defense to collapse in critical periods, late in the game. This season, with a new coaching regime; Bill Teerlinck and Darryl Tapp, the team looks to re-energize and renew the Hokie defensive line’s performance. We will see, very quickly out of the gate if the 11 game season is finally accepted and scheduled. There will only be one non-conference chance to work out any issues.
