According to Wilson, Williams is Out Against Boston College

A little breaking news tonight. I caught up with RB David Wilson after practice to see how much better he’s feeling about life compared to this time last week, when he was saying he wished he had redshirted because of his lack of a role in the offense.

Wilson, unprompted, said the Hokies will be without star RB Ryan Williams – who injured a hamstring Saturday against East Carolina – this week at Boston College.

Williams did not practice today, standing on the sideline in a blue, no-contact jersey. Wilson thinks Darren Evans will start but he expects to also get a good number of carries against the Eagles.

That nugget of information comes from Kyle Tucker who talked yesterday with, the as of late outspoken, David Wilson.

As he should be, the Frankinator is been playing Williams' status close to his vest. After all, Williams gashed Boston College for 159 yards on 18 carries last year and by ACC rule he has until Thursday to release his injury report. If BC knew with 100% certainty Williams wasn't going to play early in the week they could focus and adjust their defensive strategy.
