BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Virginia Tech is preparing to face two quarterbacks when it plays Virginia on Saturday.

The Cavaliers (4-7, 2-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) have used Michael Rocco and Phillip Sims pretty much all season, and coach Mike London says it's ``probably safe to say'' that both will play again.

When they do, they will face a pass rush that has been coming on strong recently.

Virginia Tech (5-6, 3-4) has 22 sacks in its past five games.

Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster says his team's defense against the run gets part of the credit for putting teams in third-and-long situations, allowing his pass rushers to ``pin their ears back.'' The Hokies also have been blitzing a lot more than usual and will likely do so again Saturday.
