Barquell Rivers, Jack Tyler will split snaps in Bruce Taylor's absence; Tech just doesn't know how yet

Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster knows he'll have to split reps at inside linebacker between Barquell Rivers and Jack Tyler, who will try to replace the injured Bruce Taylor. He just doesn't know how yet. I trust those two kids, Foster said. We’ll see how it goes. We’re playing a lot of snaps. We need to split it.
