OL, What does our second string line look like next year?

I live and love Virginia Tech Football but surely will tell you, I don't know or understand the X and Os of football and like a sponge, enjoy reading and soaking up posts here from French and others that do know the game of football.

I have been a fan for over 40+ years and remember setting in Lane stadium freezing my butt off watching my Hokies lose to VMI. It felt like it was about -9 degrees that day.....LOL.

The one thing I do know, no matter how great your skilled players are, if you don't have an offensive line and your QB doesn't have time to throw the ball, the RBs don't have holes to run through, and the receivers don't have time to run their routes and get open, your offense doesn't have much of a chance.

So I have seen the projected starting 5 this year, but for those of you like French and others that do know, who do you think will be our solid back ups for the 2016 season in your knowledgeable opinion and does our new OL coach, what the 4 or 5th one in the last few years have the ability to turn the OL into a solid, mean, physical line that can finally and consistently revive our front five into the days of Jim Pyne, Jake Grove, etc.

Would love to know your thoughts because to me, that will be the key to a successful offense this year and the seasons to follow and has always been that way. IMHO, our offensive line began to go south when Newsome took over and the fallout and poor coaching is still affecting us today! Although I did begn to see it turn around under Grimes. Looking forward to your comments and teaching this fan what you know and believe about the 2016 OL and the future players in the pipeline. Go Hokies.
