Sean Glennon (7) waves to the crowd after Virginia Tech's victory over Furman. Coach Frank Beamer is not happy that Glennon was booed during the game.

Think Virginia Tech's quarterback quandary has become a touchy subject for Hokies coach Frank Beamer? Got that right.

For a second straight week, Beamer announced Monday that quarterbacks Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor will be off limits to the media as the Hokies prepare for Saturday's ACC opener against Georgia Tech at Lane Stadium.

"While we're figuring out this quarterback situation, I'm not going to talk about it anymore," Beamer said. "I've asked them not to do interviews this week. I don't think we need to be talking. I think we need to turn all our attention toward Georgia Tech, a team that presents problems."

A week ago, after announcing he had rescinded Taylor's plans to redshirt this season, Beamer placed the two QBs under a media gag order. Following last Saturday's 24-7 win over Division I-AA Furman, Glennon and Taylor both were allowed to respond to media inquiries.

Glennon got the start, but Taylor played 39 of the Hokies' 61 snaps. Scrambling from a pass rush numerous times, Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 112 yards to propel Tech to 261 rushing yards, its highest total in 22 games.

In postgame interviews, Taylor said he was "excited to be back on the field, out there making plays."

Taylor had said two weeks ago he wasn't interested in sharing snaps this season. When asked Saturday if he had changed his stance on splitting the role, Taylor said, "If that's the call that Coach Beamer makes."

Glennon, who was 3-for-8 passing for 42 yards, wasn't real excited with his minimal time in the game's second half.

"We alternated more consistently in drives last year," Glennon said. "There was a three-drive stretch in the second half in which I didn't get a snap, so that was a little tough. I was told [the alternating] was going to go like last year."

Glennon also called out what he called the "10 percent" of fans who booed him when he replaced Taylor in the Hokies' first touchdown drive midway in the third quarter. He threw a 10-yard touchdown pass three plays later.

Beamer said the muzzling of his QBs this week had nothing to do with Glennon's postgame remarks.

"No. I just think we spend all our time talking about quarterbacks and I want to talk about Georgia Tech," Beamer said.

Not amused

Speaking of people shutting up, Beamer said Saturday he would like to mute the fans who chose to boo Glennon at Lane.

"I don't like that," Beamer said. "I don't like for college kids to be treated that way. To me, it's not the right thing to do.

"I love our fans; they hang in there with us. And they're hanging in there right now and we're not playing that great. But I still don't think there's a cause for that."

Talking running backs

When asked if and when a third tailback will start getting significant carries along with Kenny Lewis Jr. and Darren Evans, Beamer sounded like a guy willing to make a wager on redshirt freshman Josh Oglesby.

"I keep thinking Oglesby is going to break out of there," he said. "He had a great week of practice last week and I still think he's going to figure in there."

Beamer said a decision of whether to redshirt highly touted freshman Ryan Williams will come either this week or next.

A matter of time

Tech's game next week at North Carolina will start at noon or 3:30 p.m., depending on which television network carries the game. An announcement will come Sunday.
