You're overstating Virginia Tech's defensive potential. Bridgewater's defensive front actually ranked higher in stuff rate last season, finishing 8th nationally at 24.3%. The Hokies' scheme continuity means nothing if the talent can't execute. Their defensive line ranked 78th in tackles for loss, which doesn't scream "pocket collapse." Real defensive identity in the ODAC comes from disciplined run fits, not just being multiple. Bridgewater allowed just 3.2 yards per carry, a full yard better than Tech. Championships are won at the line, and our Eagles have the proven production.
