Husker_x Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Brandon Dillard, a redshirt junior wide receiver expected to contend for significant playing time for Virginia Tech this season, will instead miss the season after rupturing his right Achilles' tendon in player-organized offseason workouts. The school said Wednesday that Dillard was hurt Tuesday night. Virginia Tech plays at Nebraska on Sept. 27. Hokies head trainer Mike Goforth says the Martinsville native will have surgery next week at Montgomery Regional Hospital, with four to six months of rehabilitation to follow. One of the fastest players in school history, Dillard was expected to help the Hokies alleviate the loss of the top four wide receivers to graduation after last season. He gave a glimpse of his potential in the team’s Maroon and White spring game with a 49-yard run on a reverse and a 25-yard touchdown reception. LINK I wish this kid the very best. Get better soon.

Husker_x Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 I think they're more of a "skip to my loo....my darling" kind of team. So far they've been skipping their loo into the emergency room. How many injuries does this make? Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Not sure to be exact but they've had a couple of guys get hurt along with a couple of guys getting kicked off the team (a la: Brandon Ore) Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Man this will give then plenty of excuses of why we beat them now! *IF* we beat them. Let's not get ahead of ourselves now. As far as our track record shows, there's no team that can't beat us right now. Quote Link to comment

FLCLhokie Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yeah this does hurt, especially with the depth at WR being what it is. However, this team was already prepared to have problems at that position, so it may not change the offense much. We are putting every available athlete we have at wide out though. We had one player kicked off the team and now two players, Kenny Lewis and now Dillard, are injured with a couple of guys just coming off of injuries. In any case, no excuses from me. Good luck!

BOBELIEVER Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 if Tyrod Taylor gets hurt and can't play in that game that would hurt a lot more although this kid must be pretty decent... VT is all about solid play, no turnovers , defense/special teams ... the VT defense will be tough count on it ... now where was i ? oh Quote Link to comment
