quot;I#39;m glad you guys are seeing that as well as we are,quot; Petersen said with a laugh. But Petersen said he won#39;t use traveling across the country into Hokies territory as an excuse if the third-ranked Broncos don#39;t play well Monday night against No. 10 Tech. Petersen and the Broncos ...

BLACKSBURG The love affair between Virginia Tech and Tyrod Taylor began like so many others. The Hokies had come to see someone else.

BLACKSBURG The spectacle of Virginia Tech's game against Boise State next Monday night continues to grow. The No. 3 Broncos and No. 10 Hokies are playing in an NFL stadium, being broadcast with new 3-D television technology, and now both teams will be wearing futuristic new uniforms created by Nike.

It's never really an encouraging sign when you see a team less than a week from its season-opener against the No. 3 team in the nation make some significant changes on defense, but in this case, No. 10 Tech seems to have made some moves out of necessity. The Hokies need some depth - bad. pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FB0vyJY3MT3WzFf01xnqpLXaj5Y/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FB0vyJY3MT3WzFf01xnqpLXaj5Y/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FB0vyJY3MT3WzFf01xnqpLXaj5Y/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FB0vyJY3MT3WzFf01xnqpLXaj5Y/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/hrdailypress/sports?a=Qzx0ZNp0Mf8:BCDEflmJbOo:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/hrdailypress/sports?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/hrdailypress/sports?a=Qzx0ZNp0Mf8:BCDEflmJbOo:V_sGLiPBpWU"img…

Virginia Tech does not plan to redshirt David Wilson this season, Hokies coach Frank Beamer said during a teleconference with media members Monday. Wilson, a sophomore tailback from Danville, said on multiple occasions this preseason that his desire was to sit out this season if he wasnamp;rsquo;t going to receive ...

BLACKSBURG amp;mdash; Virginia Techamp;rsquo;s first-string offense broke out in a major way Saturday at Lane Stadium, but its monster day came at the expense of the Hokiesamp;rsquo; No. 2 defense. Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor completed 16 of 17 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns, and the first-team receivers came ...

Wilson last season had 59 carries for 334 yards and four touchdowns. But most of his action came at the end of games, when the Hokies already had locked up wins. Twelve of his carries, 165 of his yards and one of his touchdowns came in a 52-10 victory over ...

BLACKSBURG While scrimmage statistics always should be viewed with a measure of skepticism, especially when starters are facing backups as Virginia Tech's did Saturday, things couldn't have gone much better for the Hokies in their final preseason tune-up for third-ranked Boise State.

Virginia Tech wide receiver Xavier Boyce, a Landstown High graduate, will miss 4-6 weeks with a grade-2 MCL sprain in his left knee, which an MRI revealed Wednesday. The Hokies also lost backup whip linebacker Lorenzo Williams for the season after his MRI showed a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot, which will require surgery next week.
