After another slow start, Virginia Tech pulled out a big win over NC State. NCSU started out the game by running all over VT's defense, but the defense really stepped up and made a statement against one of the ACC's best offenses led by Russell Wilson. Wilson is said to be "allergic to interceptions", but today he threw three, all to VT's Jayron Hosely. VT's secondary defenders made a huge statement as they were hitting NCSU's receivers extremely hard and harrassing Wilson all day long. In addition to a solid defense, Tyrod Taylor had several huge runs which were converted to first downs, and Darren Evans ran for around 150 yards. At the start of the second half, David Wilson even ran back a touchdown during the kickoff which really put the Hokies on the right track for the second half of the game. Overall, the Hokies looked good today, not great, and beat a ranked opponent on the road. Sure the Hokies lost to Boise and had an unexcusable loss to JMU, but they have proved that VT is not a school to take lightly and can still play for the ACC championship. Looks like either VT or Miami will play NC State for the ACC Championship later this year. Should be fun to watch since the ACC is so unpredictable.
