Hokies Work to Build Stronger Offensive Line

Related Topics: Lineman (gridiron football)

Every grand building starts with a strong foundation and in football this foundation is the offensive line. Without it, no play would be possible.

The offensive line has been a downfall for the Hokies for years. Poor hands and fouls have cost the team yards and plays in recent seasons.

In 2014 the line gave up 48 sacks as opposed to 32 in the past season. While the numbers are going down this still averages just below 2.5 sacks a game.

As we head into the season I took a look at the depth of the line and what we can expect in terms of starters and playing depth on the roster.
