On Broadway you don’t get 16 weeks for a bad production run…

…but that’s exactly what Sean Glennon has been given at Virginia Tech. Although after ripping the red-shirt off of Tyrod Taylor’s back, only 6 quarters into 2007, that failed production run appears to have mercifully come to an end.

We have a failed off-Broadway Qb, who likely will now become the clipboard holder, we have a States Avenue Qb who will remain 3rd-string, we have a South Main Qb, who will hopefully stay sober and become an advance to go collect $200 Community Chest WR. And then we have a very raw, opening ahead of schedule, but still rather enticing Park Place Qb. Frank certainly took a risk inserting T-Mobile into such a lopsided game. But I did see a spark, for about 3 series anyways, from an otherwise feckless, disinterested, all together board looking VT football team. But that’s what I’ve seen over the course of the first 8 quarters of football this year. Last week I hoped it was an emotional hang-over, this week I’m not so sure? Will Stewart calls that leadership (or lack thereof). I call that being pretty dog-gone chaste; as in not putting out. In other words…not putting out an all-out Hokie kind of effort.

But where do we go from here? Back to the proverbial Orange and Maroon drawing board, and hopefully back to the raw fundamentally sound VT pigskin basics. No more arm-tackling, no more blown blocking assignments (wait till you see the eye in the sky this week), and hopefully we will develop a package of plays for T-Mobile, instead of having T2 run Glennon’s play-set. On the good side, I did see a couple of Hokies that came to play tonight, #17 Kam Chancellor came to play, and he came to hit, that kid has a very good looking future for VT. X had a pretty solid night, and Worilds is a rough one, even when he runs past the play. T-Mobile can make plays with his feet, and Royal can return a Kick.

But if you are 2-0 OhioU, you now have a glimmer of hope, as this severe of a beat-down, of a soon to be former #9 football team is going to leave a mark. b-st.
