Just five days ago, Billy Hite was giddy over what he described as maybe the most deep and talented backfield in his 32 years at Virginia Tech.
Tuesday night, the Hokies' running backs coach had to hope that assessment was right. A red-eyed Hite couldn't muster much more than a whisper as he talked about losing his starter, Darren Evans, to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during practice earlier that afternoon.
"He was running a route, planted, and just went down," Hite said. "It's devastating. Obviously, he is (devastated) right now. His girlfriend... she's a basket case. It just doesn't make any sense. It's not fair."
