Video: Defensive Line vs. Duke

Virginia Tech’s defensive line was a big factor in the win over Duke last Saturday.  Today we’ll take a quick look at some specific plays from the second half of that game.

Play 1: Corey Marshall gets to the inside of the offensive tackle and forces Renfree to leave the pocket.  Renfree is a much better player inside the pocket, and he’s just looking to get the ball out of his hands on this play.

Tech’s defensive line punished Duke.

Play 2: Derrick Hopkins gets the initial pressure, and Luther Maddy cleans things up for the sack.  All four Tech defensive linemen were deep in the backfield by the end of the play.
