I've got a sneaking suspicion we'll see a good amount of him in the Orange Bowl against Cincinnati, probably the worst BCS bowl matchup anyone will ever see, but rules are rules. I say this because this platoon system is remarkably similar to the 2003 season, where Bryan Randall shared snaps with Marcus Vick.

Facing a high-powered California offense in the Insight Bowl, led by none other than Mr. Aaron Rodgers, both Vick and Randall were on the field at the same time for much of the game.

Vick only threw one pass, but caught four, and rushed three times. Stinespring was the mastermind behind the offensive trickery in the 52-49 loss. With similar weapons, and a few extra on top, we could see some really interesting stuff in the Orange Bowl.

Glennon, Taylor, and Boone can all take the snaps, and if Victor "Macho" Harris isn't too busy on defense and special teams, we could see him lined up wide on one side with Taylor lined up wide on the other side of the field.

With Evans in the backfield, Boone at tight end, and Harris and Taylor wide, I'd be at a complete loss for ideas if I were on the other side of the ball.

Nevermind any of that, though. The Hokies will win this crap game they probably shouldn't be in (I've already said it so haters don't need to) with defense.

It's nice to think Tech could actually win a BCS bowl game for once. Regardless of whether or not it should be there.

Hokie, Hokie, Hokie Hi.
