It’s been a while since we talked up how good we were on the defensive side of the ball. After the amazingly great 2016 and 2017 defenses were, the sudden shrinkage of star power, size, speed, and talent left the Hokies in something of an experience hole for 2018 and 2019. That truck sized hole really hurt, too. Even with the individual positional improvement of 2019, the defensive field control depth was still spotty. The Hokies weren’t getting gashed as much as 2018, but there were still problems playing all 3 yard to gain downs, and several circumstances were late leads were lost because the defense could not seal the deal with full stops on 4 downs.
