Virginia Tech and Tennessee will meet for only the eighth time in history when the two travel to the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Dec.

As if there was anything left for Virginia Tech running back Ryan Williams to prove, he went and made himself Public Enemy No.

Virginia Tech's Ryan Williams has six piercings, and the studs in his ears or jeweled bar in his right eyebrow twinkle when television cameras affix a bright light on him.

They still have fun with this. All of them. The Virginia Tech players, who hold the Commonwealth Cup in the huddle like it's their birth right, which it might as well be now.

The flashy highlights this season for Virginia Tech have mostly belonged to Ryan Williams, the redshirt freshman who leads the ACC in rushing.

16 Tech's receiving records or inquiring about them. He already has as many or more receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns this season as he had all of last year in 14 games as a freshman, and he has established himself as quarterback Tyrod Taylor's go-to guy, but those numbers and distinctions aren't good enough for Boykin.

Finally, therea s a blowout in this series. NC State was the only team to defeat the Hokies in ACC play in 2004, winning 17-16 in Blacksburg.

With his senior season unraveling, N.C. State team captain Jeraill McCuller looked ahead to the upcoming season finale with rival North Carolina.

NC State faces Virginia Tech today in the final road game of the season for the Wolfpack.

Virginia Tech is focusing on what it can do, not what it can't. The No. 16 Hokies can't win a third consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference championship.

The 16th-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies host the NC State Wolfpack in an ACC matchup this weekend at Lane Stadium/Worsham Field in Blacksburg.

Ryan Williams' first-quarter touchdown plunge gave him the Tech freshman record for touchdowns.

Disappointment doesn't linger long with Virginia Tech's football team. People still question whether the 20th-ranked Hokies have anything to play for, now that they are completely eliminated from the national championship and ACC title races.

Wide receiver Dyrell Roberts dives into the end zone after catching a pass from Hokies quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

Tyrod Taylor threw for 268 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, and No. 20 Virginia Tech built an early 24-point lead before coasting to a 36-9 victory over Maryland on Saturday.

The 20th-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies will attempt to beat the Maryland Terrapins for the fifth straight time in the series between the familiar ACC foes.

Freshman Ryan Williams ran for a season-high 179 yards and No. 22 Virginia Tech avoided its first three-game losing streak in six years, holding off East Carolina 16-3 on Thursday night.

To call Virginia Tech's offense impotent in its two-game losing streak would be only half true.
