Virginia Tech CB Kendall Fuller Undergoes Knee Surgery

You can blame it on a few bad penalty calls, but the Hokies are not making any excuses about their loss to East Carolina, rather using it as motivation as they enter ACC play Saturday against Pittsburgh.

BLACKSBURG -Virginia Tech cornerback Kendall Fuller will miss the rest of the season after having surgery Tuesday to fix a torn meniscus in his right knee, according to Tech’s athletic department. The Panthers have won games against the Hokies in two of the last three seasons. “We were planning on playing him”, Foster said.

His three older brothers – Vincent, Corey and Kyle – all played at Virginia Tech and moved on to National Football League careers. And we don’t have that now.

The extent of Fuller’s injury or even whether he’s actually undergone the procedure or is just planning it wasn’t yet immediately known. “He’s been throwing the ball well”.

Virginia Tech’s Brenden Motley (9) looks to pass the ball as he is hurried by East Carolina’s Damage Bailey (97) during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Greenville, N.C., Saturday, September 26, 2015. Qadree Ollison leads the team in rushing with 305 yards and 7.4 yards per carry, but he was limited to 17 yards on four carries against Iowa, as fellow freshman Darrin Hall started and ran for 38 yards on 14 carries. Beamer hopes the Hokies (2-2) learned plenty from a non-conference slate that included losses to No. 1 Ohio State and the Pirates, and victories against Furman of the FCS and Purdue.
