A page out of the other guy's playbook?

Posted Sep 8, 2006

Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer decided this summer to do some tinkering with his playbook ... and one man helped inspire it. Why did UNC pose such a threat? Tech will travel Saturday to play at UNC, which has Danny Pearman on staff as its defensive ends coach this season. Pearman coached tight ends and offensive tackles at Tech from 1998-2005. "It has everything to do with Danny being there," Beamer said. (Daily Press)
