Clayton Named Hokies’ Backup QB for Rest of Spring

Monday afternoon, Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer announced that
redshirt freshman Joseph “Ju-Ju” Clayton has won the backup
quarterback job for the remainder of the spring. Marcus Davis will be moved to
wide receiver for the last week of spring football, and Clayton and starting QB
Tyrod Taylor will receive the large majority of QB snaps for the rest of the
spring.

Beamer made the announcement on BeamerBall.com in his BeamerBlog.
In the blog, Beamer also said that Davis was instructed to improve his arm
strength, which still needs work after shoulder surgery last fall, and that he
will be given a chance to compete at quarterback in the fall.

Clayton is regarded as the more advanced quarterback at this stage, with
Davis (who wears Michael Vick’s old #7) the superior athlete. In Saturday’s
scrimmage, the two QBs played those roles; Clayton finished
7-of-9 passing for 70 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions, while
Davis was just 3-of-6 for 19 yards but had an impressive 62-yard TD run.

2009 Spring Game Tailgate

OK, Hokie Sports Fans…time once again for the VT Spring Game. The team has
been busy throughout the winter in the weight room, has endured the dreaded 6 AM
workouts, and is busy sharpening their skills in Spring practice. It is just
about time for the annual Maroon and White Spring Game. The least we can do, as
fans, is come out and cheer them on, and what better way to get in a cheering
mood than to do a little tailgating!

The 2009 Edition of the Award Winning TSL Spring Game Tailgate Party.

Your hosts this year will be Pops & Co., knucklejunction, hokiebred, HFNVA
and F4EHokie. Russian Hokie will be our official photographer.

Here’s what will be provided:

• BBQ Pork!
• Plates, napkins, cups, and utensils
• Buns and condiments
• Ice

Here’s what you need to bring:

• Your favorite beverage, adult or otherwise

  grill
• Chips, salsa, veggie trays, chicken, side dishes, etc.

We will be cooking about 125# of pork, and it will be first come, first
served.

Tailgating begins at 10:00 AM. Look for the white tents and the Hokie flag in
the east end of lot 2.
