The Hokies QB Conundrum: Present Predicament
Well, here I am in 2018 when the Hokies should- SHOULD- have a second year starter that’s set for the next couple years as the no-doubt bet to take every non-injury-related snap from behind center. A redshirt freshman with a pretty successful starting season where he had a lot of inexperienced skill position players and somehow managed to throw for twenty touchdowns and run for six touchdowns while limiting turnovers to only nine picks (no fumbles). He completed close to 60% (59.6%) of his passes and still has plenty of room to grow.
…But, I’m not going to mince words: The fanbase reaction to Josh Jackson has been…mixed. And the coaches haven’t backed off a competition at the position.
