BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Tyrod Taylor threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns and No. 23 Virginia Tech rolled to a 44-7 victory over Duke on Saturday.
Taylor was 13 of 17 passing and finished with 327 yards of total offense, putting him less than 100 away from becoming the school’s career leader.
Ryan Williams, a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference running back a year ago, returned after missing four games with a hamstring injury. He only played two series but scored on a 1-yard run in the first q3uarter as the Hokies (6-2, 4-0) opened a 27-0 lead by halftime.
Duke’s lone score came on Jay Hollingsworth’s 6-yard run in the third quarter. The Blue Devils finished with just 208 yards of total offense.
