He got first-string snaps in August.

Lots of empty seats there. Orange Bowl folks are probably rethinking the whole ACC-Big Least contract. I'm sure they had envisioned a few Miami-Florida State matchups back in the day.

ACC teams are 1-9 in BCS bowls. Maybe it's time to rethink automatic qualifiers.

And, before last night, that lone victory was FSU beating Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl. So Cincinnati is the only team outside the current league that an ACC team has beaten in a BCS bowl.

Great performance by VT tonight; its best of the year. Aside from the first drive and a few busted pass plays early, the defense was solid as hell. The offense was far, far, far better than I expected. For my money, this was Beamer's best coaching job, taking this team to 10 wins. Unreal. I still say it would have been 11 or 12 with Taylor at QB the full season. But that's picking nits at this point.

The Hokies are going to be a lot better next year since everyone on the fucking team is 18. Looking forward to it.

Fanboi rant over. Carry on.

Yes, it is picking nits.

ECU, FSU, BC, Miami - which of those do they not lose? I'm pretty sure Taylor played in three of the four and they win ECU if they don't get a punt blocked.

At the very least, they beat ECU. If Taylor plays and Glennon sits, the blocked punt wouldn't have mattered. At this point, it's ancient history. Just answering your question.
