BLACKSBURG — Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente announced that backup quarterback Quincy Patterson has entered the transfer portal. The only other player to enter the transfer portal during the off week was receiver Darryle Simmons.
Fuente attributed the timing of Patterson’s decision — Tech has two games left to go in the regular season — to a hand injury he suffered against Pittsburgh. Patterson couldn’t grip a football last week and likely wouldn’t have been available to play this week against Clemson.

Sitting by the pool Saturday in Tallahassee, Florida, wasn’t so bad for Virginia linebacker Zane Zandier and his teammates, and there was time for a good bicep pump in the gym at the team hotel. But U.Va. probably isn’t going back this season. U.Va. coach Bronco Mendenhall made that clear Monday.
“I have no interest in going back to Florida State,” Mendenhall said. “That opportunity was there. It’s no longer there. I’m anxious to play Boston College (Saturday) and then Virginia Tech (Dec. 12), and then, hopefully, we play well enough to be considered for postseason and we go from there.”
