ESPN’s Bill Connelly recently wrote an article collecting his opinion of the top 50 best college football defenses. Within his rankings he placed the 2007 Virginia Tech Hokies’ defense as the 22nd all-time best defense!

Remembering the 2007 season will be a bit painful, as it includes some of the more frustrating and inexplicable offensive performances in Hokie history. Virginia Tech finished the 2007-2008 season ass the ACC Champions with a respectable 11-3 overall record and 7-1 ACC record.
