Press Conference: Frank Beamer

Chris Graham

Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer talks with the news media on Monday. Virginia Tech (5-2, 3-0 ACC) takes on Duke (1-5, 0-3 ACC) on Saturday.

Opening Statement

“You look at this Duke team, they average about 400 yards per game, about 278 throwing, 122 running and completed 57 percent of their passes. The quarterback has had a little bit of a problem here lately, but I think he’s got a tremendous upside,. They have really skilled people at wide receiver, and you look at them defensively, probably all you need to say is Duke had seven turnovers and [Miami] only scored 21 points on the defense and the other touchdown was an interception by a guy that took it back to the end zone, so again it’s a team that is very, very capable and we need a good week of preparation and continue to improve as a football team ourselves.”
