Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas has struggled to begin the 2012 season, as he acclimates himself with eight new starters.

Thomas rated by NFL scouts as one of the top quarterback prospects in the country.

“It hasn’t helped,” said head coach Frank Beamer. “There’s no question that when you’re playing freshmen tailbacks, and four new starters on the offensive line, a new starter at tight end, that affects your play. But again, what we need to do is become a more consistent, play-after-play offense.”
