This was scheduled to appear in today’s notebook in the print edition, but the item about Ed Wang returning to pads bumped it. So here it is now ...
When former starting quarterback Sean Glennon entered Saturday’s game with 4:45 remaining and the Hokies up 28-7, there were a smattering of boos amidst the cheers from Lane Stadium’s crowd. Earlier, some fans booed Glennon when his image appeared, ironically, in a video encouraging polite fan behavior.
“Sean Glennon deserves our respect,” Beamer said yesterday . “He doesn’t deserve to be booed. … I think that’s over the top a little bit when you start booing in a college stadium.”
In his postgame press conference, Beamer made a point in his opening statement of praising Glennon, whom he replaced with Tyrod Taylor.
During the game, Glennon signaled offensive plays from the sideline. When Taylor’s 6-yard touchdown run gave Tech a 14-7 lead in the third quarter, Glennon was the first player to chest-bump Taylor when he returned to the sideline.
