David Hale from ESPN's ACC Blog wrote an article that puts into persepective how bad we were offensively last year, especially on third down.
By The Numbers: Hokies Third Down Woes
Qualitatively speaking, it was obvious we weren't a good offensive team, but I don't think I realized how bad it was.
These numbers make my stomach hurt.
"In 2013, the Hokies ground game converted just 37 percent of its third-and-short attempts for first downs...No other team in the country converted less than 40 percent....Only 17 teams (out of 125) nationally converted less than 50 percent."
Hale then goes on to attribute it all to poor offensive line play, which I think is an over-simplification at best, but I digress.
I know many of the reasons the running game struggled have been discussed at length, but I'm having a hard time understanding, let alone justifying, how this happens to a program with Virginia Tech's talent and resources.
