Just when you wondered if the Hokie offense was ever going to get a chance to show its stuff, the word out of Wednesday’s scrimmage in Lane Stadium is that the offensive line finally gave the quarterbacks time to work, and all four QBs stepped up and had good days. We’ve got good news on the offense and more in this scrimmage report.

For the second consecutive scrimmage, the offensive line performed pretty well. The quarterbacks had time to throw the ball, for the most part. The yellow jerseys were still on the quarterbacks, but they were allowed to be hit. Thank goodness they had time to throw, which will allow Mike O’Cain to make a proper evaluation.

The thing that stood out to me was their decision making. Despite the contact, they didn’t try to force many passes. They did a good job of avoiding pressure and throwing the ball out of bounds. Greg Boone threw an interception to Robert Parker, but it was on a deep ball about 30 yards downfield. Overall I was very pleased with the decision making today.

I was particularly impressed with Sean Glennon and Ike Whitaker. First of all, Sean Glennon is not a slug. Far from it. He has a knack for sensing pressure and scrambling away from it. He doesn’t have bad speed at all. He threw the ball well and showed a good command for the offense. Once he avoided a Xavier Adibi pass rush and completed a pass up the middle for a big gain. In a regular scrimmage, the play would have been blown dead.
