Backup QBs battle when No. 22 Duke welcomes Virginia Tech

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke dodged trouble in the short term when its starting quarterback went down.

Now it's time to see if Virginia Tech can do the same.

The teams meet Saturday night in an Atlantic Coast Conference game at Duke's Wallace Wade Stadium.

Virginia Tech is coming off a stunning loss at previously winless Old Dominion. Quarterback Josh Jackson suffered a broken left fibula in the defeat.

Now it's Ryan Willis' turn to take snaps for the Hokies (2-1, 1-0 ACC).

"He's competitive. He has been training and working for this opportunity," Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said.
