ACC Now

QB platoon history for Hokies

Bookmark and Share

GREENSBORO, Ga. — Frank Beamer said Virginia Tech needed both Tyrod Taylor and Sean Glennon at quarterback to win the ACC title last season but he'd prefer to use just one quarterback this season.

"We've got to get that figured out," Beamer said. "All of us would like to get it down to one quarterback. We made it work last year, but it's still hard [to use two quarterbacks]."

Beamer said he has not discussed the possibility of redshirting Taylor, a sophomore, and thought it was unlikely to happen if Glennon, a senior, beats Taylor out for the starting position.

Despite losing seven starters on defense, its leading rusher and top four receivers, Virginia Tech was the overwhelming pick to win the Coastal Division. Quarterback was the position Beamer felt comfortable with, even with the looming decision.

"It's a good problem to have," Beamer said.
