Virginia Tech Hokies Game Notes
Keshawn King (undisclosed) is questionable to play in Thursday’s game versus NC State, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports. King appears to be dealing with an unspecified injury, after he recorded three touches for six yards in the 20-14 loss to Miami in Week 7. If the 180-pound running back is eventually sidelined for Thursday’s matchup against the Wolfpack, then Malachi Thomas and Jalen Holston would be in line for additional backfield reps.
