Coach Justin Fuente and the 17th-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies enter Saturday’s tilt with the Syracuse Orange in the Carrier Dome healthier than some may have expected.
In a rain-soaked affair last Saturday in Chapel Hill, the Hokies suffered injury scares with two key contributors, one on each side of the ball, leading to questions throughout preparation this week as to whether or not the individuals would play.
All-ACC and All-American candidate Isaiah Ford left the game in the third quarter with an apparent ankle injury. He was limited in practice this week, but was not listed on the injury report and will start against the Orange.
