Virginia Tech made it through a tough stretch of four road games in its last five outings and it returns home on Saturday with a chance to clinch a berth in the ACC championship game.The No. 18 Hokies (7-2, 5-1) would need No. 15 North Carolina lose at Duke on Thursday night and then beat Georgia Tech (5-4, 2-4), but either way, fullback Sam Rogers and the Hokies know their destiny is in their hands if they simply keep winning.Even if the Tar Heels should lose, the Hokies focus needs to be locked in on the Yellow Jackets.If you look too far ahead, youre going to trip on something right in front of you, and I honestly believe that, Rogers said Monday, so weve just got to worry about Georgia Tech right now and what happens at the end of the season is what happens.Nevertheless, they head into the weekend feeling good about the run they are on, winning four of their last five. Since getting a bit too full of themselves and losing 31-17 at Syracuse a month ago, theyve trounced Miami and won narrowly at Pittsburgh and at Duke.We feel like weve gotten some momentum now, Rogers said. We feel like were doing well game to game, but weve just got to keep preparing the exact same way, taking it one game at a time. Weve seen earlier in the year what its like to get too high on ourselves.The Hokies victory at Duke came despite a lackluster offensive performance, but that also built confidence.I honestly think thats really important, to show that when things are a little bit sloppy, we still just find a way to win because, at the end of the day, it doesnt say that it was a sloppy win or a very good loss, Rogers said. It just says win or loss.While he will be happy to be back in Lane Stadium, first-year coach Justin Fuente said theres no sense of relief that the difficult road stretch is over because the Hokies havent achieved any goals they set just yet.I mean, were happy that we won the game last week, he said. I felt a sense of relief after it was over with. And I feel a strong sense of trying to get ready for Georgia Tech. Im happy that were playing at home, but I know we have a huge challenge. Like Ive talked about many weeks, the previous weeks dont really mean anything in terms of what were trying to accomplish this week.The Yellow Jackets have not had their typical high-powered offense. They rank 72nd nationally, scoring 27.2 points per game, and 70th in total offense, averaging 401 yards, but are still only one victory from a bowl berth.For Virginia Tech seniors like right tackle Jonathan McLaughlin, this time of year has often been one of desperation in recent seasons with the Hokies trying to rally to keep their 24-year bowl streak alive. Now, with the program on pace to get to the ACC championship game for the first time since 2011, theres no time to lose focus on the task at hand, he said.The only thing now is weve got to keep going, he said, take it one week at a time.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Jalen Ramsey Womens Jersey .

HOOVER, Ala. -- Quarterback questions once again linger around the Southeastern Conference heading into preseason camps. For a league that seems to mass produce NFL-caliber talent, the QB position lately seems to be the one exception to that trend.From Tuscaloosa to Athens, the quarterback competition appears as heated as ever.Its getting to be more and more of a trend, it seems to me, Georgia coach Kirby Smart said at the leagues media days this week. It used to be theres a lot of good quarterbacks, and you hated that as a defensive coordinator for the last eight or nine years you were facing some really talented guys. And it seems to be theres more question marks every time we have this event.Why is that? I dont know. Theres more turnover, more transfers, more competition, more guys coming in to compete. I dont think it inhibits the league at all.Beyond Mississippis Chad Kelly, Tennessees Joshua Dobbs and perhaps Texas A&Ms Trevor Knight, the SEC is full of unknown commodities at quarterback. There are ongoing battles around much of the league, and still inexperienced starters taking over teams like Missouri, Kentucky and Vanderbilt.The SEC has had three quarterbacks drafted in the first round since 2010, and two -- Johnny Manziel and Tim Tebow -- are currently out of the league.It hasnt held Alabama back, at least. The Crimson Tide will start a quarterback with little collegiate experience for the third straight year, whoever claims the job, but has managed a national title and two playoff appearances. Cooper Bateman (one career start) is the only candidate whos thrown a pass in college and hes competing with David Cornwell and Blake Barnett.Saban said there isnt a clear front-runner going into camp.Somebodys got to win that job, he said. Somebodys got to win the team. That hasnt necessarily happened yet.The offenses and seasons for teams like Auburn, Missouri and South Carolina sputtered with quarterback issues last season. LSUs SEC title bid stalled when even Leonard Fournette couldnt override an inconsistent passing game.A significant exception is Texas A&M, which appears to have solved its QB dilemma with Knights transfer from Oklahoma after two former five-star passers left the program. Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin wasnt interested in bringingg in a graduate transfer during their initial conversation, but then Kyler Murray and Kyle Allen left the program.ddddddddddddOur conversations changed dramatically after that went down, said Knight, a former Sooners starter who won the starting job in the spring.There has been another influx of five-star QBs like Mississippis Shea Patterson and Georgias Jacob Eason, who is challenging returning starter Greyson Lambert for the job. They were the two top rated quarterbacks nationally in the 247Sports composite rankings. Alabamas Barnett was one of the top quarterback recruits last year.Heres a snapshot of some of the other quarterback situations:- Floridas expected to start Luke Del Rio, a former Alabama walk on who transferred to Oregon State before returning to the SEC.- Kentuckys Drew Barker, Vanderbilts Kyle Shurmur and Missouris Drew Lock all are expected to start after logging time as starters last season.- South Carolinas Perry Orth is facing competition from mid-year enrollee Brandon McIlwain.- Mississippi State is trying to replace the programs most prolific passer, Dak Prescott. Its a four-man competition among sophomores Nick Fitzgerald and Elijah Staley, junior Damian Williams and freshman Nick Tiano.- Auburn might turn to another junior college transfer in John Franklin III since Jeremy Johnson and Sean White both struggled as starters. That contributed to the Tigers disappointing season after being widely projected as SEC contenders.Newton and Nick Marshall wound up leading Auburn to national championship games straight from the JUCO ranks. Alabamas Jake Coker and Blake Sims thrived in their lone seasons as starters.Maybe from that group of new guys, there will be another Newton, Marshall or Johnny Manziel, who enjoyed swift rises to stardom in their first -- and, in Newtons case, only -- season as starter in the SEC.In years past we had these same question marks, Smart said. People arose. Certainly at this time no one knew who Cam Newton was, and he was amazing. Nobody thought they knew what Nick Marshall would do. Nobody thought Blake Sims was going to do it. Nobody gave Jacob Coker a lot of credit either. ' ' '
