The Virginia Tech coaching staff and its new starting quarterback, Tyrod
Taylor, are in a foot race with the schedule, trying to get Taylor ready for the
meat of the ACC schedule, especially that trip to Clemson on October 6th (with
apologies to UNC, coming to Lane Stadium on September 29th). The Hokies got out
of the blocks pretty well to start the Tyrod Taylor era, and things are on
schedule.
Taylor generally looked good on Saturday (18-of-31, 287 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs,
1 TD rushing), and what he brings to the table over his predecessor is clear.
It's not just mobility, though I'll admit that I was guilty last week of
accusing the VT coaches of wanting a guy who could bail and run when things
broke down.
