Saturday afternoon, Mike London’s Wahoos had their second full-field scrimmage of the Fall Camp. The modified, game simulated practice (thankfully) produced no serious injuries, and my spies deep within the McCue Center whispered to me that the tailbacks looked great, but the quarterbacks struggled again.
Barring injury, Mike Rocco will be the starter, and most likely, freshman David Watord will be the backup.
If Rocco plays well, and remains the starter throughout the season, I bet that Ross Metheny and Michael Strauss will transfer at the end of the 2011 season in order to actually see the field in college. Both guys could help a non-BCS team at the quarterback position.
Virginia opens the season at home against William & Mary on Sept 3rd @ 6 p.m. Go Hoos, beat the Hokies!
