The freshman ran for a season-high 179 yards and the 22nd-ranked Hokies avoided their first three-game losing streak in six years, holding off East Carolina 16-3 on Thursday night. Tyrod Taylor had a 13-yard touchdown run, Matt Waldron kicked three field goals and Williams atoned for his critical miscue last...

Hokies coach Frank Beamer is dipping further into the motivational deck for Thursday night's non-conference game at East Carolina.

Realistically, Virginia Tech will not meet any of its preseason goals—third straight Atlantic Coast Conference championship, Bowl Championship Series title game—and would seem to have little to play for in its final four games.

But Beamer is stressing two things to his team.

That won't be easy, even though the Hokies are a 121/2-point favorite. The Pirates lead their division of Conference USA and have a quarterback (Patrick Pinkney) who carved...

Frank Beamer knew North Carolina was good, but even he was stunned by how the Tar Heels pushed around 14th-ranked Virginia Tech on Thursday night. "I don't think we got in a rhythm as a football team," Beamer said. "When we had field position in the first half, we didn't get points.
