2008 Spring Football Wrapup: The Defense

Virginia Tech’s defense finished first nationally in total defense in 2005
and 2006, and second nationally in 2007. Most of those players are gone. Vince
Hall, Carlton Powell, Xavier Adibi, Brandon Flowers, etc. are no longer on the
team. They’ll have to be replaced, but their shoes will be tough to fill. Of
course, the Tech defense still has defensive coordinator Bud Foster, arguably
the top defensive coordinator in the country. If we’ve learned one thing over
the years, it’s to trust in Foster. There generally aren’t any problems on
defense, and if there are, he fixes them.
