GREENSBORO, Ga. -- Bob Griese and Doug Flutie disagree on whether Virginia Tech should play musical quarterbacks again this year, but the TV analysts do agree on one thing.

Both pick the Hokies to repeat as champion of the ACC's Coastal Division.

"As the year goes on, they're going to get better and better," Griese, an ABC color commentator, said at the ACC's preseason media gathering Monday.

Griese, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, said the Hokies might not be great early in the season because of the 13 starters they lost.

"It's tough when you lose all those players, but by the end of the season, they're probably going to be playing pretty good football," he said. "They're going to be young, but they've got good players. It's just a matter of how quickly those guys step up."

Flutie, a studio analyst for ABC and ESPN, also likes coach Frank Beamer's team.

"He's always going to have a solid defense on the field and always make his plays on special teams," said Flutie, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

The Hokies return quarterbacks Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor. Griese, a former Miami Dolphins quarterback, said it won't be a problem if Beamer uses both signal-callers again this year.

"If I were a quarterback, I wouldn't like it. But if I were a coach and I had that quality going, I think I'd do it," Griese said. "It gives the defense big problems when you have a quarterback that's a pocket passer that can throw like Glennon and then you have another guy like Tyrod that can drop back and just take off.

"I wouldn't be afraid to use them both. ... That's how the team is going to be best, at least for awhile, until somebody just takes over."

Flutie, a former Boston College and NFL quarterback, disagrees. He said Beamer needs to pick a quarterback.

"You've got to have one trigger guy that the guys believe in," he said. "It's great to have two that can get the job done, but it makes it tougher from a preparation standpoint offensively and there's a lot of other issues. ... There's a potential to have a split locker room."

Rick "Doc" Walker, the analyst for Raycom's syndicated ACC game of the week, said Glennon should be the QB until the offense sputters.

"If the offense is not moving for two or three series, ... I'm putting [Taylor] in the game because he's a game-changer," Walker said. "But I'm not going to go back and forth every week.

"This is [Glennon's] last year. ... I'm going to give him two or three possessions to prove that it's not happening."

Walker, a former Washington Redskins tight end, also picks Tech to win the Coastal.

"I like Tech because if it were a stock, if you take them over the last five years, you're always in the money," Walker said.

Flutie and Walker aren't worried about the new faces Beamer must use at tailback and receiver.

"The tailback thing? He's got athletes," Flutie said. "It's a shame to lose Branden [Ore], but it'll work out.

"The skill position guys are the easiest to replace. When you're a winning program, you get the tailbacks and receivers."

Virginia is expected to have a rougher season than the Hokies, but Griese is a fan of coach Al Groh.

"Somehow, he's going to get it done," Griese said.

Griese and Flutie both picked Clemson to win the Atlantic Division. The Tigers return quarterback Cullen Harper and running backs James Davis and C.J. Spiller.

"They've got two stud tailbacks, [and] maybe the best quarterback in the ACC," Flutie said.

Walker favors Wake Forest in the Atlantic, though.

"Wake Forest is a blue-chip stock," Walker said. "Clemson has got to prove to me they can win the game they're supposed to win."
