Benchmark Glennon: What Does One Game Mean?
Before I go into any of this, I can not emphasize enough how much one game can only give us a glimpse of what to look for in the future. Â Still, I thought it would at least settle some nerves to take a look at the starting quarterbacks of the past 10 years and consider […]

WRAL: Glennon Ready to Prove Himself (Video)
Jason Jennings spoke with Mike Glennon today. Not a thorough interview by any means, but one of Glennon’s comments perhaps sheds a little more light on TOB’s process of choosing Glennon and releasing Wilson (WRAL.com): “I thought redshirting was going to be great for me, but then Russell (Wilson) had the great career that he […]

Mike Glennon had all that down when he came to NC State two years ago. Patience might not have been high on the list. It is now.
