There are four positions on Bud Foster’s defensive line; Defensive End, Defensive Tackle, Nose Tackle, and Stud End. Who fits in where and what actual technique that player executes for that particular defense is one of those maddening Foster/Wiles related bits of football voodoo. The Hokies haven’t been known for fielding dominant traditional Defensive lines. They have, however, come up with some interesting non-traditional looks that have bubbled to the surface of Hokie greatness. No one is going to write of laurel leaves and carpets of triumphal flower pedals when it comes to Virginia Tech Defensive Lines. Most of our pros are outside guys, or have been backed off to outside linebackers in professional 3-4 formations.
