The most important position for Virginia Tech this year will be offensive
line. Not quarterback, not depth at defensive end, not whip linebacker, and not
rover. How far this team will go this fall will depend on how much running room
the line can create for Branden Ore, and how much time they give Sean Glennon,
Ike Whitaker, or whomever, to throw.
The offensive line is viewed as the weak spot on the team heading into the
season. Last season the line was average at best, but they did show signs of
coming on in the middle of the season. However, injuries to Ryan Shuman and
Brandon Frye derailed any chances the line had of gelling during the season, and
the Tech offense limped to the finish line.
