MIAMI (AP) — Ryan Williams ran for 142 yards and two touchdowns, including a career-long 84-yarder in the fourth quarter, and No. 14 Virginia Tech beat No. 24 Miami 31-17 on Saturday to win the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division title.

Virginia Tech (9-2, 7-0) will play for the ACC title Dec. 4, with a spot in the Orange Bowl at stake. Jayron Hosley’s eighth interception of the season with 9:01 left set up Tyrod Taylor’s 18-yard touchdown run that sealed the win and the Hokies’ fourth divisional title since the ACC adopted the format in 2005.

Danny Coale had four catches for 83 yards and a touchdown for Virginia Tech.

Lamar Miller rushed for a career-best 163 yards and a touchdown for Miami (7-4, 5-3), which has not won the ACC since joining in 2004.
