Couple items off the bat:
Virginian-Pilot: Virginia Tech names redshirt freshman Josh Jackson as starting QB for season opener
After playing it coy for the first part of August practice, Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente announced Monday that Josh Jackson will open the season as the Hokies' starting quarterback.
The 6-foot-1, 211-pound redshirt freshman from Ann Arbor, Mich., battled for the job last August but lost out to Jerod Evans. He then spent almost all of last fall watching and learning as Evans led Tech to a 10-4 season.
Jackson beat out A.J. Bush and true freshman Hendon Hooker, and Fuente said at the moment, Bush would be the No. 2 guy.
Miami Herald: UM QB race narrowing, with Evan Shirreffs, Malik Rosier praised
Judging by coach and player talk, not to mention folks who have witnessed practices and the scrimmage, University of Miami redshirt sophomore Evan Shirreffs appears to be strengthening his case for cementing a role as first-team quarterback heading into fall camp — although redshirt junior Malik Rosier has also improved and is pushing him, with two of three scrimmages remaining.
