Virginia Tech's Michael Brewer continues to impress in spring game

BLACKSBURG, Va. - Michael Brewer threw a touchdown pass, and Travon McMillian, Trey Edmunds and J.C. Coleman each scored on short runs to lead Team Medal of Honor to a 24-21 victory in Virginia Tech's spring game on a rainy Saturday.

''We've really had a good spring practice,'' Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said. ''I think we've got a lot of good character guys and a lot of good football players. I like where we are right now and we've got to keep going in a positive direction.''

Greg Stroman scored on an 88-yard punt return for Team Pylon, which had two first-half turnovers. Punter Mitchell Ludwig was tackled at the 17 before getting off a punt, and that led to McMillian's 4-yard touchdown run at Lane Stadium.

Trailing 24-7 at halftime, Team Pylon scored twice in the second half - on a 36-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Donovan Riley and on Coleman's 2-yard run.

Brewer completed 4 of 8 passes for 60 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Ford.

The Hokies picked the team names to honor the school's military tradition.

Brewer's performance capped a strong spring. After throwing 15 interceptions last spring, he didn't throw an interception in the Hokies' three scrimmages or spring game.

''It's been a big point of emphasis,'' Brewer said. ''That was something we needed to improve upon last year, and I think we've done a good job of that this spring.''
