Virginia Tech Football Faces Duke with Injuries

The Virginia Tech Hokies, currently at a 5-5 record, are preparing for a critical matchup against the Duke Blue Devils after a bye week aimed at recovering key players from injuries. Head coach Brent Pry reported that quarterback Kyron Drones and running backs Bhayshul Tuten and Malachi Thomas are all questionable for the game, highlighting the ongoing challenges posed by their respective injuries. Despite the bye week, the status of these players remains uncertain, as none have practiced fully, raising concerns about their impact on the team's performance. Drones struggled in previous games, and Tuten was ineffective against Clemson, further complicating Virginia Tech's offensive strategy. The Hokies are in dire need of a win to secure bowl eligibility, making the health of their star players crucial. As they face a strong Duke team, effective management of player health will be essential for Virginia Tech's postseason aspirations.
