Virginia Tech Hokies 2024 Football Roster Review: Offensive Line

Many of you know the GC Rules for Football and Rule #2 (#1 regards Quarterbacks - that’s for later), but it bears repeating. The Offensive Line is 85% of the running game, and 65% of the passing game. If a team doesn’t have a dominant offensive line, or a way to implement a blocking scheme with a subpar talent and size level (Veer, Wishbone, Triple-Option, etc.) the offense is unlikely to move the ball well regardless of the running back or quarterback talent. If the linemen cannot impose their wills on their opponents, move them out of the way, or keep the quarterback on his feet, the game will not be won with offense.
