Virginia head coach Mike London elaborated on his quarterbacks' reps yesterday, stating "Michael Rocco is going to get the majority of the snaps.  He's put himself in a position to do that."

This is on the heels of stating Rocco, and freshman David Watford would see more reps earlier in the week.  Watford remains the wildcard here, and has the highest upside, but the extra reps will determine whether or not he redshirts this season.  It's becoming clear Rocco will be the starter, and as long as he gets a chance to establish himself, he'll be a serviceable ACC quarterback.  This is good news for Kris Burd and Tim Smith.
