Beamer named senior Sean Glennon starting quarterback for the 2008 season on
Tuesday.
Glennon beat out sophomore Tyrod Taylor for the job. Beamer said Tuesday that
Taylor, who completed 72-of-134 passes for 927 yards with five scores and
three interceptions last season as a true freshman, will redshirt this year.
Taylor, a more mobile quarterback than Glennon, gained 429 yards on 102
carries last season with six rushing touchdowns.
Beamer said Tuesday that senior Cory Holt will serve as the No. 2 quarterback
behind Glennon.

percent completion percentage, for 1,796 yards with 12 touchdowns and five
interceptions.
