Furman vs Virginia Tech Live Streaming, TV Channel, Scores, Start Time
On a day when Furman’s offense didn’t have much to celebrate in a 42-3 loss to Virginia Tech, freshman running back Triston Luke was a bright spot.
The broken collarbone that Virginia Tech quarterback Michael Brewer suffered against Ohio State will likely keep him out for about half the season.
Late Friday, the Virginia Tech Hokies unveiled their uniforms for their “White Out” game Saturday against FCS Furman.
Things changed for Motley and the Hokies in the second quarter.
Along with Motley, true freshman Dwayne Lawson and redshirt freshman Chris Durkin received enjoying time at quarterback towards Furman, marking the primary time Tech has performed three quarterbacks in a recreation since 2008 at Florida State (Hampton Excessive graduate Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon and Cory Holt). Ernie Cain led the Paladins’ rushing attack with 61 yards and three scores, but Furman’s defense must clean up some issues after giving up 328 passing yards.
Motley has attempted just one pass (a 17-yard completion last season at Wake Forest) in a road game in his career.
Motley was 4 of 9 for 36 yards passing, including an interception and a touchdown against the Buckeyes in relief of the injured Michael Brewer.
“Triston’s going to be a good player”.
Ohio State’s loss last season while ranked No. 8 was its first at home in 65 non-conference games, dating to 1982, and deprived them of an unbeaten season. Durkin, who traveled with the team last season but didn’t play, and Lawson, who completed 3-of-7 passes for 51 yards and ran for 51 yards and a 4-yard touchdown against Furman, are obviously still looking to get their feet wet in a road game. Each Frank Beamer and affiliate head coach and operating backs coach Shane Beamer stated Monday no definitive determination has been made but relating to a redshirt yr for Williams.
“Mentally he was exceptional, which is good”, offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler said.
Duke (1-0) and North Carolina (0-1), picked well behind Virginia Tech in preseason for fourth and fifth in the Coastal Division, could now be favored when the Hokies pop up on the schedule – October. 24 (Duke) and November 21 (UNC). “It has been nice to be able to focus on the type of offense we’ll be seeing the most this season”. You’ve got to really prepare…
“It was a draw play that we ran earlier in the game and we went right up the middle but this time they were prepared for it so I had to do something different”.
Virginia Tech intercepted T.J. Barrett three times, including one that Donovan Riley returned 63 yards for a touchdown with 46 seconds remaining to clinch the victory.
That’s a given for the Hokies under Beamer. “There are a lot of games to be played across America so we have to wait and see”.
“He never flinched”, Beamer said.
