Cody Grimm only stands out when No. 14 Virginia Tech lines up on defense because at 5-foot-11 and 205 pounds he looks too small to be a linebacker. He doesn't talk smack, either. "I don't want to make the other player angry," he said. "He's probably stronger than me, throw me around, so I just tell them they're doing a good job and get back to the huddle." But...

On paper, it looks like another blowout win to end a dominant November for the Hokies.

When Virginia Tech tries to win the Commonwealth Cup for the sixth straight year Saturday at Virginia, it will be a heavy favorite over an opponent whose coach is likely headed out the door following the season.

But coach Frank Beamer is telling his team to turn on the film of last year's game in case they think they'll have an easy time with the 3-8 Cavaliers.

"Just watch it," he said of the 17-14 squeaker in Blacksburg. "We were lucky to win that game. You can throw out the records when we play Virginia. We're going to have to play our very best game this week."

Cliche 101, to be sure, but Beamer doesn't want to see...

The flashy highlights this season for Virginia Tech have mostly belonged to Ryan Williams, the redshirt freshman who leads the ACC in rushing. Almost overlooked for the 14th-ranked Hokies this season has been the development of quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Always feared as a runner, the junior has shown more patience than ever in letting plays develop, and turned himself into one of the nation's...

All week long, the Virginia Tech seniors reminded Ryan Williams how important their final game at Lane Stadium was to them. The redshirt freshman running back clearly got the message, rushing for 120 yards and four touchdowns Saturday to help send those 21 teammates home happy as the No. 16 Hokies beat North Carolina State 38-10.

Although no longer a candidate for the national championship, No. 20 Virginia Tech still has several worthwhile goals within reach. Successive losses to Georgia Tech and North Carolina last month ruined the Hokies' bid to finish No. 1, but Virginia Tech remains in contention to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game.
