Virginia Tech RB Evans out for season
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -Virginia Tech will have a new starting tailback in a season of great expectations after Darren Evans tore a ligament in his left knee during practice.
His loss means that redshirt freshman Ryan Williams, Josh Oglesby or highly regarded freshman David Wilson will be the starter. Only Oglesby has carried the ball in a game.

South Florida junior running back Mike Ford has been suspended for the Bulls' first two games of the season for an undisclosed violation of team rules, the school announced Monday. No further details were given.
Ford was the Bulls' top tailback as a freshman, rushing for 645 yards and 12 touchdowns. Last year, he was limited by injuries and amassed just 407 yards on 102 carries, with five touchdowns.
It's unlikely that South Florida will need Ford for its first two games against Wofford and Western Kentucky. But the team could be short on running backs. Junior Jamar Taylor injured his left knee in a scrimmage on Saturday; the team has yet to say how serious the injury is.
Senior Mo Plancher is the current leader in the Bulls' tailback competition.
