BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech football coach Justin Fuente has big plans for his Saturday off. They involve taking his wife and three daughters to the pumpkin patch that morning – and then watching some football in the afternoon while the girls are taking a nap.
Before getting to that point, though, he and his staff will keep the players sharp with a couple of practices. He gave the starters off yesterday, while working the backups and freshmen, and then he brought the entire group back together for Wednesday’s practice.
“I just felt like with the extended camp this year, with some of our veterans who have been multi-year starters … I just felt like giving them a day off, really focusing purely on everybody else that is either redshirting or playing limited snaps,” Fuente said at his weekly news conference Wednesday.
