BLACKSBURG, Va. -- The numbers made it Sean Glennon's day, but the Virginia Tech coaches made it just another Saturday.

Glennon, who led the Hokies to the ACC title last season, threw for 119 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's Maroon and White spring game.

Will Virginia Tech QB Sean Glennon be sharing snaps in 2008 as he did in 2007?

Tyrod Taylor, who split time with Glennon at the end of last season, completed 11 of 19 passes for 67 yards and one interception.

Glennon's team won 24-3, but it hardly determined whether the Hokies will continue to use a two-quarterback system in 2008.

"We're really going to study this," coach Frank Beamer said. "The White team got the better of it, Sean got the better of it. I was surprised the Maroon team didn't protect a little better. … We'll evaluate it. That will continue."

Glennon said he would prefer to be the lone starter, but will share the job again if asked.

"I think any quarterback would be lying to you if they said they didn't want to take every snap," he said. "Of course I want to be out there as much as possible. But if the coaches feel like what we did at the end of the season last year gives us the best chance to win this year, I'm just going to do what I can when I get in there."

Taylor made one glaring mistake -- an interception that was returned 55 yards to the 1-yard line -- and he was the victim of dropped passes and was sacked three times.

"I don't want to say the white team had an advantage, because I think both teams competed very well," Taylor said, "but they had more experienced guys on their squad."

Beamer is still weighing the option of redshirting Taylor, a decision both of them will tackle this fall.
