BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech redshirt freshman Josh Jackson passed his first test as a new starting quarterback, but there are many more challenges ahead.
An important one presents itself this week when the 18th-ranked Hokies (1-0) host FCS foe Delaware (1-0) on Saturday at Lane Stadium.
Jackson, who impressed in his first college start Sunday night in a 31-24 victory over West Virginia, had ample time to prepare for the Mountaineers. Now he must get ready for a new opponent on a short week.
"I'm sure he feels good about it," Hokies coach Justin Fuente said of Jackson's debut, during which he accounted for 336 total yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers in a nationally televised contest at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.
