Following the probable loss of backup quarterback Tim Byerly for the season to a lower body injury, A-back Qua Searcy may join him on the sidelines with an ankle injury. Tech has suffered a litany of health setbacks in recent weeks, as detailed here last week. This leaves just Broderick Snoddy, Ike Willis and Clinton Lynch as healthy, game-worn ABs, as true freshman TaQuon Marshall hasn’t yet been been ruled a go from an undisclosed injury suffered against Duke.
Two players to watch now are true freshmen Mikell Lands-Davis and Quaide Weimerskirch. Weimerskirch was an early enrollee who practiced at B-back but suffered a foot injury in the spring.
