- Beamer was surprised that his team was picked to win the ACC Championship in the preseason voting, because there are so many good teams in the ACC

- He said any team can win this league, and he "really appreciates the respect"

- But he said it ultimately comes down to each week and putting your best foot forward

- He's looking forward to opening up with Boise State, but he knows it's going to be a tough game because of the talent that the Broncos return

- Beamer said that they've had a tough time being consistent the past few years, and now they've got good perimeter play

- Tyrod Taylor is a dynamic quarterback

- He's very pleased with the running back tandem that he has this year in Darren Evans and Ryan Williams, both of whom are 1000 yard rushers

- "The challenge is seeing how quickly we can become good"

- Beamer said they never back away from the ultimate goal of winning a national championship

- Replacing some of his defensive personnel is the biggest issue right now for the Hokies

Frank Beamer is now done, and Randy Shannon from Miami is up next.
