Tigers are banged up heading into Virginia game

Clemson suffered several notable injuries in Saturday's tough 21-7 loss to Maryland. Quarterback Charlie Whitehurst and receiver Airese Currie are currently listed as questionable, though I seriously doubt they'll miss what is shaping up to be a pivotal game against Virginia on Saturday. For more on the injuries, go here and here.

RUNNING OUT OF GAS: Here's a column by the Greenville News' Bart Wright that I missed the other day. It's about Clemson's continuing anemic performance in the running game.

CU-VA NOTES: The SID's office has released the voluminous pregame notes for the Virginia game. Check them out.

STATS WATCH: Clemson's NCAA statistical rankings have been updated, and we are now the No. 1 team in the country in kick returns. Yay. Quarterback Charlie Whitehurst slipped a little in the passing-efficiency rankings. Receiver Derrick Hamilton leads the ACC in all-purpose running.
