Marcus Davis Injury: Virginia Tech WR Fumbles, Hurts Shoulder

The Virginia Tech Hokies suffered an injury Monday night against the underdog Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets when wide receiver Marcus Davis left the field with a shoulder injury.

Davis caught a slant pattern and broke a tackle before heading upfield in search of a touchdown. Instead, Davis was caught and brought down on a hard tackle during which he fumbled the ball, which Virginia Tech recovered.

The redshirt Senior was excellent in 2011, catching 30 passes for 510 yards and five touchdowns. He's also proven to be very durable over the past couple of years. Davis has played in every game over that time, becoming one of the most reliable players on Frank Beamer's team.

The severity of Davis' injury is uncertain. He left the field under his own power but was holding his shoulder and talking to the trainers on his way to the sideline.

Jay Finch Injury: Georgia Tech Starter Leaves Game, Returns

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets nearly suffered an unfortunate injury, with center Jay Finch leaving the game against the No. 16 Virginia Tech Hokies. He returned midway through the fourth quarter.

Finch is the lynchpin of the offensive line. It was said on the telecast by ESPN on Monday night that Yellow Jackets head coach Paul Johnson has stated Finch would be the hardest player to lose for his team.

The junior started 12 games in 2011, helping lead Georgia Tech to some of the best rushing numbers in the nation. Finch is a mauler and definitely provides some of the toughest blocks to execute in the Yellow Jackets' option system.

PHOTO: Frank Beamer Reacts To Paul Johnson's Halftime Timeout

Paul Johnson has called timeouts on opponents leaving the field for halftime before. He had not yet done it to an opponent whose coach was in the middle of a halftime interview. That bucket list item can now be checked.

What? #BeamerBall twitter.com/cfbsection/sta…

— Michael (@cfbsection) September 4, 2012

There's Frank Beamer, preparing to defend his punter's role in a foibled special teams play from earlier, when the Jackets called time so Virginia Tech could sit on the ball one more time. Beamer was then asked for his thoughts on the timeout that interrupted the interview, and everything got super meta in Blacksburg.

D.J. Coles Injury: Virginia Tech WR Questionable Due To Knee

Virginia Tech senior wide receiver D.J. Coles would be a big (literally and figuratively) loss for the Hokies:

WR DJ Coles has a right knee injury, but #Hokies spokesman says it's not related to offseason PCL surgery. He's questionable to return.

— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) September 4, 2012

The 6'4, 226-pound Coles caught 36 passes for 480 yards and three touchdowns in 2011 and provides a solid red-zone target for VT quarterback Logan Thomas. Coles missed all of spring practice after his PCL surgery.

Thomas finished the first half just 12-for-23 passing with 90 yards for a meager 3.9 yards per pass attempt. He did manage 40 yards on the ground. Thomas completed passes to six different receivers in the first half, but Coles did not pick up a reception.

Georgia Tech's Honeycomb Uniforms Aren't Just One-Offs

Yes, Georgia Tech is wearing a honeycomb pattern on all of its gear tonight that sort of makes it look like its players have yet to be broken out of the boxes they were shipped in. You should go ahead and get used to it, because this is going to be the full-time look for the Jackets this year. The only non-honeycombed item will be the helmet:

Tech is bringing white helmets back to the Flats for the first time since 2006, but will keep the traditional gold helmet in the rotation for 2012.

In all, Tech will have three newly-designed jersey tops (white, gold and navy), two new pant styles (white and gold), and two different helmets (white and gold). Last year's jersey design also remains in the rotation for 2012.
