Tyrod and the QB Crew

Bill Roth has a FANTASTIC new article for his column "The Kroger Roth Report" on hokiesports.com. It goes into Stinespring's thoughts on TT and all of the potential backups (Boone, JuJu, Davis). Here is my favorite portion:

“He doesn’t have to worry about the senior quarterback [Glennon] anymore,” offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring said. “He doesn’t have worry about ‘Is he the starter? Is he not? Is it dual QB?’ He doesn’t have to worry about the youth part of it. He fully understands that, right now, he’s assuming the role that he’s the leader. And it’s a good time for him to assume that role on this football team.”

Going back to January, it’s been a different Taylor inside the Merryman Center. He’s played two seasons of college ball, played in two ACC championship games and two Orange Bowls, but now, coaches sense he’s ready to step his game up to a much higher level.

“Tyrod is excited about this spring,” Stinespring said. “His whole demeanor and approach to this spring. In the weight room, he set a couple of records. He’s stepped it up there. At the 6 a.m. workouts, he’s been setting the tempo. He’s been a leader. It’s the first time he’s stepped on the field and it’s his offense. You can see the leadership come to the forefront. You can see it in everything we do.”
