3 P.M. — Mike Glennon Making Case To Not Redshirt

News & Observer of the five-man N.C. State quarterback race: http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/ncsu/story/1167874.html

Tom O'Brien called the scrimmage "sloppy." Can you blame him? He's got five quarterbacks to seemingly sift through, two stud running backs and a tight end coming off season-ending injuries and he missed a bowl game in his first season. I'd say he's got good reason to gripe.

But Mike Glennon, the quarterback for Virginia AAA state champion Westfield last season, is making a case for the starting job, which is between Harrison Beck, Daniel Evans, Justin Burke, Russell Wilson and Glennon. (Maybe they can do the Spurrier rotation on speed when they just rotate them every play — you know, just to be fair). Glennon went 9-for-13 for 101 yards, but did have one interception.

Meanwhile, ex-West Springfield kicker Josh Czajkowski, a first-year starter at place-kicker, "was dubbed the player of the scrimmage by O'Brien. Czajkowski was 4-for-4 on field goal attempts, hitting from 32, 44, 32 and 37 yards." At least O'Brien couldn't legitimately complain about him.
