Magic Marker Man

Quarterback Sean Glennon led Virginia Tech to a 27-3 bounce-back win at Georgia Tech on Thursday night, completing 22 of 32 passing attempts for 297 yards and two touchdowns. Glennon was one of four players who had their jersey stolen, but he shrugged it off and led the Hokies to their highest offensive output of the season.

With his name written on the back of a replacement jersey in magic marker, Glennon led Virginia Tech to 481 total yards, their highest total of the season.

Virginia Tech kicker Jud Dunleavy tricked the Yellow Jackets with an onside kick after the Hokies' first score, and they capitalized on the recovery. Glennon rushed for a two-yard score on that drive early in the second quarter, putting the Hokies ahead for good at 10-3.

The win improved Virginia Tech's road record to 14-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference since beginning ACC play in 2004.

A classic example of Beamer Ball, but I have to ask: what happens if Georgia Tech makes that recovery?

A botched onside kick cost Tech the game against BC. Beamer will make sure you won't see any more of those any time soon.
