Typically when I put the weekly injury report together, it's always from a Pitt perspective. But a pair of big injuries to important Virginia Tech players this week is hard to ignore. As stated in the preview, the Hokies will be without quarterback Michael Brewer, who is recovering from a broken collarbone. It was learned this week, too, that they will be missing star cornerback Kendall Fuller as well, who just had knee surgery and will be out for the season.
Neither of those guarantees a Pitt win, of course, but they should help the Panthers' chances.
