No QB rotation this season at Virginia Tech
Despite using a two-quarterback system that led the Hokies to the ACC Championship Game and an Orange Bowl berth last season, Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer has decided to redshirt one half of that combination and go with Sean Glennon as the full-time starter this year.

Gators’ Harvin, Spikes likely to rest up for Hurricanes
The University of Florida shouldn’t have much trouble with a rebuilding Hawaii team on Saturday afternoon, but the Gators’ chances of covering the massive spread (35+) could be affected by the potential absences of starting receiver Percy Harvin and linebacker Brandon Spikes.

Oregon sophomore Nate Costa had won a heated battle to become the Ducks’ starting quarterback, only to see that chance lost for much if not all of the season due to another injury to his left knee.

Your first game preview of 2008: NC State-South Carolina
College football season kicks off on Thursday, with probably the best game that night being in Columbia, S.C., where South Carolina hosts North Carolina State.
