1) Other than QB1 and QB2 (for obvious reasons), which players can VT least afford to lose for any significant time next season? – GO_HOKIES_GO

Chris Coleman: I would say anybody who can play a passable offensive tackle would be a critical loss for Virginia Tech football this season.

Parker Clements (6-7, 292, So.) will do a very good job at right tackle, but is Silas Dzansi (6-5, 325, r-Sr.) a natural at left tackle? I personally think he’s a more natural guard. In fact, I asked him that last week, and he told me that he likes playing tackle better, but he actually feels more natural at guard. So there’s your answer. If he says he feels more natural at guard, then that probably means he’s a guard. Fortunately, he’s a guard who can play tackle. Some guys are guards who can play center, and some are guards who can only play guard.

Even if Clements and Dzansi play perfect football for the Hokies this season, there’s always the worry that one of them will be injured. If that happens, the Virginia Tech offense could be in a whole lot of trouble.
