Try the “BEST” defense in Virginia Tech history bar none. This is the most dominant defensive team that I have ever seen in college football. I know that’s a bold assertion to make, but their numbers stack up well, and aside from that, give them the eye test and see if they don’t pass it against almost any other team in college football history. They hit filthy hard, their pursuit was uncanny, and their speed may never be matched by a Virginia Tech defense again. On an unrelated note, this was also the most talent-laden team Tech ever fielded. If Stiney had called any kind of game against Miami and the team didn’t come out of the gates like a hungover chick against the Seminoles, we would have been undefeated…still probably not playing in the classic Texas-USC national championship game, but man would I have felt better about that year. Big disappointment based on the product we put on the field every game but two.
