Inspired by Joe's post about Logan Thomas, I expounded on his first-year QB stats. However, I did mine a little differently and went with each QB's first year as the primary starter. The arbitrary number I set for this was starting 75 percent of the Hokies' games. Then, I grabbed the stats for every first-year starter under Frank Beamer.

This doesn't include Beamer's first starting quarterback in 1987, Erik Chapman, who started the previous season.

Abbreviations: Elig. - QB's year of eligibility that season; GP - Games Played; GS - Games Started; Cmp - Completions; Att - Attempts; Pct - Completion Percentage; Yds - Passing Yards; YPA - Yards Per Attempt; TD - Touchdown Passes; INT - Interceptions; API - Passing Attempts per Interception; Eff - Pass Efficiency.
