UVA announces that Greyson Lambert will rotate in at QB on Saturday

http://www.roanoke.com/sports/uva/uvafootball/2404224-12/cavaliers-will-...

Per Doug Doughty of the Roanoke Times:

"Back-up quarterback Greyson Lambert, who has led Virginia on fourth-quarter touchdown drives in each of its past two games, has been slated for playing time when the Cavaliers play host to Virginia Tech on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

'Well give Greyson some opportunities to go in the game, Mike London said. Its important that he gets some development as the season winds down.

I thought he did a nice job [at Miami]. At one point, they had their back-ups in. Later, when [Lambert] started moving the ball, they put their first team back in.

Lambert, a 6-foot-5 redshirt freshman from Jesup, Ga., entered the game with 7:13 remaining and finished 13 of 19 for 134 yards.

Starting quarterback David Watford was 10 of 25 for 106 yards and was intercepted three times in a 45-26 loss to the Hurricanes.

London said his staff had not determined if Lamberts playing time will follow a pre-ordained pattern, similar to the way UVa used Watford as a true freshman when he was a back-up to Michael Rocco in 2011."

So, the Hokies get Watford and now have to study limited film on Lambert. It is hard to determine the impact of this is without some inside knowledge about which quarterback that the players think gives them the best chance to win, but Virginia was the better team against Miami for 3 quarters and their effort was completely sabotaged by Watford's poor play.

Thoughts?
