BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Logan Thomas already has the whole accountability-as-a-quarterback thing down pat.

The redshirt sophomore takes the blame for the only sack No. 11 Virginia Tech’s offensive line has allowed him to take this season, and is eager to put his skills on display when the Hokies open Atlantic Coast Conference play against No. 13 Clemson (4-0) on Saturday night.

The Tigers also have a new quarterback in Tajh Boyd, and he has put together a much glitzier start to the season. Thomas says he’s not looking to get in a shootout against his friend, but to demonstrate poise and confidence that rewards the Hokies coaches’ faith in his abilities.

Boyd and the Tigers will be playing on the road for the first time this season.
