Matt Johns to start at QB for Virginia against Georgia Tech
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Matt Johns will be Virginia’s starting quarterback on Saturday at Georgia Tech.
Coach Bronco Mendenhall made the announcement Monday, saying that Johns, who started every Cavaliers’ game last season, will replace struggling transfer Kurt Benkert.
The Cavaliers (2-8, 1-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) lost their fifth straight on Saturday, 34-14 against Miami. Benkert fumbled the ball away twice after halftime, and Johns replaced him with about five minutes to play.
