of the Yellow Jackets that is.

In a high stakes ACC game early in the season, Tyrod Taylor got the nod over Sean Glennon and took every offensive snap.  The passing game was lackluster (48 yards), but the Hokies got it done on the ground.  Between Kenny Lewis, Tyrod Taylor, and emerging star Darren Evans, the Hokies amassed 199 yards rushing.

All seems to be righting itself in the Hokie Nation.  Although offensive coordinator controversy will continue throughout the season, the statistics from this game showed some fundamental improvements:

• The leading receiver is now a receiver instead of a tailback (Dyrell Roberts, 5 for 104)
• The leading rusher is now a tailback instead of a quarterback (Darren Evans, 42 for 203)
• The leading scorer is no longer a defensive player (okay, technically this happened after the second game)

The orange jerseys had mixed reviews, but other than the retinal damage they caused, they really weren’t that bad.  As long as they aren’t worn for every home game, the Hokie crowd can handle it.

The Hokies now lead the Coastal ACC division with a 1-0 record.  If Virginia Tech, with Tyrod Taylor at the helm, can take down UNC next weekend, they will have a great head start in the Coastal division.
