is reportedly planning to start Tony Muskett at quarterback against Virginia Tech on Saturday night, as first reported by Greg Madia of the Daily Progress. The Cavaliers will bench Anthony Colandrea, who has started every game at quarterback for UVA in his sophomore season.The move to start Tony Muskett comes following a stretch of poor performances for the Virginia offense with Anthony Colandrea leading the way.
Virginia went a stretch of 20-consecutive drives without scoring a touchdown with Anthony Colandrea at quarterback between the Notre Dame and SMU games before Colandrea connected with Malachi Fields on a wild fourth and goal play at the very end of the SMU loss. A former Monmouth transfer, Muskett was Virginia's starting quarterback last season, but missed significant time with injuries. He wound up playing in only six games, but helped lead Virginia to a massive 31-27 victory at then-No. 10 North Carolina, the first road win over a top 10 team for UVA in program history. Muskett was then beat out by Colandrea in fall camp this year for the starting quarterback job.
