The Hokies were the clear favorites coming into this weekend's game against the Blue Devils. Duke has a struggling offense, defense, and a quarterback who throws a ton of interceptions. Sounds like the perfect team for VT to jump all over and score a ton of points on. Tyrod Taylor maintained his case for ACC player of the year as he went 13/17 for 280 yards and 3 TDs. Wilson, Robers, and Andre Smith all caught a TD pass from Taylor, and the rushing game was spread around, giving everyone a number of carries (even Ryan Williams). Carmichael and Hosley both had an interception against Duke's inconsistent quarterback and the defense only allowed 208 yards and 7 points. A win over Duke may not be very impressive, but it ensures VT will not go anywhere in the AP top 25, and gives the offense and defense even more confidence for their return after the byweek to face a decent Georgia Tech team. It's nice to see the offense playing so well. Even backup quarterback Logan Thomas is getting playing time and is looking like a solid quarterback to carry the Hokies next year when Tyrod leaves VT.
