If you went up and down the Virginia Tech football roster, it would be hard to find two more important players than left tackle Xavier Chaplin and running back Bhayshul Tuten. So, fans immediately feared the worst when Chaplin and Tuten left the field in the second half of last week’s win over Georgia Tech.
Of course, it didn’t help when Tuten was spotted wearing a boot around town. Even though athletes wear a boot all the time after an injury — major or minor — it was Virginia Tech, so everyone just assumed the worst.
Relax.
