Virginia Tech finally won a game this season against a pretty good ECU Pirates team. The first half was slow and the defense did not play well, but VT really turned it on in the second half and blew the Pirates away, 49-27. Tyrod had another solid, not too impressive day, and defender Rashad Carmichael made two crucial interceptions. Hopefully, VT will be able to use this important win to carry them through the rest of the season, proving that the Hokies really are a good team and capable of putting large numbers on the scoreboard. They will need some big numbers and strong defense next week against Boston College. The biggest story from this game though, is Ryan Willams' injury. Williams hurt his hamstring in the first quarter, and was not able to walk off the field on his own power. Knowing how tough he is and how he has come back into the game from injuries before, it was sad to hear that he had to leave for the hospital immediately. There is not a final word on his injury, but knowing the circumstances, we have to assume a torn hamstring and that he will be out for the remainder of the season. Fortunately, Darren Evans is an outstanding backup, and David Wilson can now gain some playing time in the absence of Williams.
