Bobby Rome began running routes for quarterbacks Joe Dailey and Cam Sexton. One thing led to another, and before spring practice, Rome ran one more route: to the office of head coach John Bunting. Rome asked to switch positions. He liked what he'd seen of the offense being installed by new coordinator Frank Cignetti and wanted to be one of the playmakers getting the ball. (Virginian-Pilot)
