You knew this game was going to be different from the very first play from
scrimmage, when the Hokies sent David Clowney deep and Sean Glennon reared back
and completed a 60-yarder to the Duke five yard line. It was a
shut-up-and-sit-down play call and execution from offensive coordinator Bryan
Stinespring and Glennon, both of whom came under criticism this past week for
the lack of punch in the Hokie offense.
From that point on, Glennon did as much as a young quarterback can do to
silence his critics and encourages his supporters. His final statistics were
strong (15-of-25 for 301 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT), but beyond the numbers, you
could see him settle in and start to play with confidence as the game went on.
