Virginia Tech QB Brewer may be back for N.C. State game

Help may be on the way for Virginia Tech, as quarterback Michael Brewer was listed as “probable” for Friday night’s game against N.C. State.

Brewer, a senior, broke his collarbone during the Hokies 42-24 loss to No. 1 Ohio State in the season opener and has been out since.

Virginia Tech (2-3, 0-1 AAC) has lost its last two games and will look to bounce back on Friday when it hosts N.C. State (4-1, 0-1 ACC) at 8 p.m.

On the season, Brewer has completed 11 of his 16 pass attempts for 156 yards and two touchdowns.
