There was only one thing missing from Stephan Virgil’s first college start Saturday — a Virginia Tech victory.

Playing in front of family and friends in his home state, Virgil picked up a fumble and ran 30 yards for a touchdown and later returned a blocked extra-point kick for two points in the Hokies’ 27-22 loss to East Carolina at Bank of America Stadium.

SATURDAY’S STAR

T.J. Lee, special teams

East Carolina

Lee was chewed out by head coach Skip Holtz for committing two penalties on running plays while lined up at wide receiver. Lee became the hero later when he blocked Brent Bowden’s punt and returned it for the winning touchdown. Holtz said after the game that he planned to apologize to Lee. When told that, Lee said no apology was necessary.

Not sure how redshirting your most athletic player on offense really helps the team…

However, I’m sure the redshirt would come off quickly if Sean sprains his ankle against ECU.

HokieTV had the live conference and should have a viewable press conference available shortly.

His bread and butter is his defense, but Virginia Tech’s Victor “Macho” Harris has always wanted to show off his offensive skills in a game. He’ll finally get that chance.

Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor don’t punch pins in voodoo dolls crafted in each other’s images. They don’t quibble with each other in practice or get snippy in meetings.

As a matter of fact, if you didn’t know they were competing for Virginia Tech’s starting quarterback job, you might not think they knew each other at all.
