Virginia Tech suffered a major blow over the weekend when it was announced that cornerback Antone Exum suffered a torn ACL and will be out six to nine months. What does that mean for the Hokies and Exum? Read on.
Before we get into specifics, allow me to say a few words about Exum. I was defensive (perhaps overly so) of the criticism he received during the middle of the season. Looking at the boards back then, or just listening to people talk about Blacksburg, the words "sucks" or "terrible" were thrown around a lot when people were talking about Exum, and that was completely unfair.
