Who Will Tech Face?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It will be interesting to see how Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer deploys his quarterbacks on Saturday.
Senior Sean Glennon, the pocket passer, played the entire opener (a 27-22 loss to East Carolina). Afterward, Beamer ditched his plan to redshirt sophomore Tyrod Taylor.
Taylor got 39 snaps, Glennon 22, in last week’s 24-7 win over Furman. Taylor had a 50-yard run among his 112 rushing yards. (Also completed 4-of-5 throws).
Beamer won’t talk about the quarterback situation, but it seems likely Tech will see more of Taylor than Glennon.
Of course Glennon had a career night at Tech last year, throwing for nearly 300 yards and 2 TDs in a 27-3 Hokies’ win. He should be confident against the Jackets.
Still, my guess is Tech would rather face Glennon than the multi-dimensional Taylor. It sure sounded that way from talking to players and coaches.
Tech fans — who would you prefer and why?
