Vanderbilt dealing with multiple injuries ahead of trip to Virginia Tech

The Vanderbilt football team cruised to a 45-3 rout of Charleston Southern on Saturday to open the season in Nashville. It was a cupcake opener for the Commodores, but it came at a price, which is what coaches always fear in blowouts early in the season.

Vanderbilt suffered injuries to starters on offense in the win over the weekend, and they were missing a starting defensive tackle who missed the game with an undisclosed injury. Tuesday, Commodores head coach Clark Lea gave an update ahead of this weekend's battle.
