QB Taylor sharp in No. 10 Va Tech’s last scrimmage, but he torches the second-team defense

Good news and bad in No. 10 Hokies’ last scrimmage

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Tyrod Taylor was midseason sharp in No. 10 Virginia Tech’s final scrimmage of the fall, completing 16 of 17 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns.

Coach Frank Beamer says the only incompletion was a ball Taylor threw away.

The only bad new is that he did it against the Hokies’ second-team defense, raising questions about their depth heading into their opener against No. 3 Boise State next Monday night.

The scrimmage pitted the Hokies first-team offense and defense against the second units.

The Hokies’ first-team punt coverage unit blocked a punt by Brian Saunders, the team’s first-team punter.
