Virginia Tech will be without one of their offensive playmakers this Saturday as sophomore tailback and return man David Wilson is a scratch for the upcoming game against North Carolina. According to athletic trainer Mike Goforth, Wilson was experiencing virus like symptoms all week which was ultimately diagnosed as Mononucleosis. This is a huge blow for the rebounding Hokies in a key Coastal match-up against the Tar Heels. The resurging Hokies will certainly miss Wilson’s 28.6 yards/kick-off return average...

Endres had surgery this morning to repair his damaged shoulder and will shortly begin his road to recovery. Now that Endres is out, it looks like QB Zach Frazer, who lost the starting job when he suffered a knee injury earlier in the...

VaTech’s Beamer announced that redshirt freshman Ryan Williams will start at tailback when the No. 7 Hokies play No. 5 Alabama. Oregon RB Blount is out for the remainder of his...
