Virginia Tech's beleaguered offense should get a boost Saturday against Miami (noon, WPEN) with the return of two of the Hokies' best skill-position players.
Virginia Tech team doctor Duane Lagan said Monday that flanker/return specialist Bryan Still will definitely play against the Hurricanes in Blacksburg. Still suffered a separated shoulder against Boston College.
Tailback Ken Oxendine, who was penciled in as the starter, may see his first action of the season against the Hurricanes. Oxendine broke his right hand in a preseason scrimmage.
``He'll practice some this week and most likely will play,'' Lagan said.
GIVE THEM LIBERTY: The Liberty Bowl will announce Wednesday that it has agreed to take a team from the Big East. Conference commissioner Michael Tranghese will be in Memphis, Tenn., for the announcement.
The Big East champion goes into the bowl alliance and will play in either the Fiesta, Orange or Sugar bowl. A second team from the league goes to the Gator Bowl. The Carquest Bowl will select a third Big East team, and the Liberty Bowl gets the fourth pick.
The Liberty Bowl is at noon Dec. 30 on ESPN. The opponent will be a member of the Liberty Bowl Alliance, which includes East Carolina, Cincinnati, Memphis, Southern Mississippi and Tulane. by CNB
