Virginia Techs two-way battle at quarterback job is now a three-way race with freshman Josh Jackson having played himself into the mix.First-year Hokies coach Justin Fuente said Jackson, a dual-threat from Ann Arbor, Michigan, has had a really good camp and a great summer.Dont over-react to what Im saying, Fuente added of the competition that opened with fifth-year senior Brenden Motley and junior Jerod Evans, a transfer from Trinity Valley Community College in Texas. I still dont know what way its going to go, but hes had a really good camp.Jackson has elevated his status by taking care of Fuentes three priorities for the position, the coach said.I think hes done the three things that we have set out for those guys to do, Fuente said. Im not saying that he is doing it on a more consistent basis than anybody else. Im just saying he is doing things more consistently than he did in the spring in terms of valuing the football, managing the ups and downs in practice and predicting outcomes -- distributing the ball in the places its supposed to go. Well see how it goes. Im encouraged by all three. All three work hard.The winner of the quarterback derby will lead an offense expected to be fast-paced and with multiple skills players being shuffled in and out of the lineup. Its a departure from last season, Frank Beamers last, when wide receivers Isaiah Ford and Cam Phillips, tight end Bucky Hodges and running back Sam Rogers all played extensively.Motley started six games a year ago, throwing for 11 touchdowns with seven interceptions. He was third on the team with 224 yards rushing, but has known since after spring practice that the battle for the starting job would continue into preseason camp.Still, he said, playing at Virginia Tech has been his goal since high school and transferring never entered his mind.Obviously I could have gone up and left, ran away because my coach wasnt there anymore, he said of Beamer, who retired after last season. But I kind of hold myself to loyalty and staying with what I believe in, fighting. ... I just wanted to stay a fight and hopefully get my opportunity when it comes.Evans, originally recruited by Fuente at Memphis, threw for 38 touchdowns with just three interceptions in eight games before getting hurt.Jackson, the son of a football coach, threw for 1,780 yards and 20 touchdowns and ran for 470 yards and eight scores in high school last season.All three are learning a new offense, and Fuente said its possible more than one quarterback will play to start the season. The Hokies open at home against Liberty on Sept. 3, then will play one of the biggest games of the season the following week against Tennessee before 150,000 fans at Bristol Motor Speedway.I can foresee any scenario, Fuente said. I am hopeful that in the next week that I can see potential scenarios more clearly. Does that leave it open-ended enough? We still have a lot of evaluation left. We still have work to do.Jacksons rise in stature didnt come as a surprise to Evans.I think the quarterback (unit) as a whole is growing up and maturing, he said. I think we have a long way to go. We have a lot to learn and we still have things we need to work on as a group, but everyone is definitely moving in the right direction.Even if the number of challengers for the teams most important position is growing rather than shrinking.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Air Max 270 React Noir Et Blanc Pas Cher .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA.

But the Als big men will have pressure on their shoulders when they face the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday night missing both starting guards. Nine-time CFL all-star Scott Flory was lost for the rest of the season when he suffered a torn biceps in a 22-14 loss to the Stampeders (2-1) last week. Guard Andrew Woodruff was already on the nine-game disabled list, reportedly with concussion symptoms. That will bring versatile backup Ryan Bomben into the starting five for the rematch at McMahon Stadium. American Mike Ola had already moved in at guard to replace Woodruff. "Its going OK," tackle Josh Bourke said Thursday. "Were still working through things, but the biggest thing is they know what theyre doing. "Theyve played enough that they know whats going on and theyre prepared to step in and play right away." The unit that allowed just 30 sacks last season -- which has Luc Brodeur-Jourdain at centre between guards Flory and Woodruff and tackles Bourke and Jeff Perrett -- was already taking heat for giving up 13 in the first three games of the 2013 campaign. The entire offence has struggled with the departure of coach Marc Trestman to the Chicago Bears, as the Alouettes (1-2) gets used to a new system under Dan Hawkins and offensive co-ordinator Mike Miller. Sacks are only part of the nightmare for 40-year-old quarterback Anthony Calvillo, who has laboured to move the chains under the new regime. His 69.0 efficiency rating is more than 30 points below normal. "We havent played our best, but as an offence in general we havent played our best this season," said Bourke, the CFLs 2011 outstanding lineman. "We realize that. "We know were a work in progress right now. But we have a lot of talent on this offence and I think we can pop at any time. You have to stay positive. One of these weeks things are going to click for us." Its new territory for the O-line. The starting five lost only five man-games to injury all last season, four of them when Perrett was sidelined with a hyper-extended left knee. The good news is they have depth. Ola, in his second season in Montreal, played eight games in 2012, five as a starter. He can play both guard annd tackle.dddddddddddd Bomben, a Burlington, Ont., native in his third season, is a jack-of-all-trades, playing guard, tackle, tight end and fullback at different times while dressing for all 18 games last season. He even caught five passes for 33 yards and a touchdown. "He has tremendous feet," Brodeur-Jourdain said of Bomben. "Hes in a bad position and suddenly he gets back. "Im very confident in these two guards. But for sure, we cant replace Flory. Hes the mastermind of our O-line for many years. Hes the brain, basically." The 37-year-old Flory, a two-time CFL outstanding lineman, is certainly the elder statesman. The Regina native has been an Alouette since his pro debut in 1999. He has missed only one game in the last 13 years. "Besides being a great player, hes the biggest leader we have," added Bourke. "But to honour him, we just have to play well." Meanwhile, Calvillo was throwing the ball with no problem a day after banging a finger on a helmet in practice. He had jammed the same hand against the Stampeders, but stayed in the game. "The strength was OK and that was the only thing I was concerned with," the CFLs all-time passing leader said. "Its still sore, but thats going to happen. "I was able to complete my throws and I was very happy with it." It will be Montreals second away game of the season, but they didnt use simulated crowd noise while the offence practised this week. Calvillo said thats normal for a trip to McMahon. "Every time weve been in Calgary weve never been on the silent count," he said. "(Adviser to the head coach) Doug Berry, when he was in Winnipeg, never went on the silent count. "Its always going to be loud, but we always got away with it. It was definitely discussed this week." Still, the noise will be a test for Brodeur-Jourdain. In a season-opening victory in Winnipeg, the centre was called twice for procedure for bobbing his head two times before snapping the ball as part of a silent count. A new CFL rule allows only one head-bob per play as it is considered a ploy to lure defences offside. "Its always hard to play in the noise, and then you cant use your silent count," he said. "Then everything is on one, so that makes it easy for the defence." ' ' '
