Three keys for Virginia Tech

Posted Oct 29, 2009
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said the Tar Heels' four defensive linemen might be the best the Hokies have played this season. Carolina ranks seventh nationally in yards allowed per game (266.3) and 23rd in rushing yards allowed (102.6). The Hokies' tailback, redshirt freshman Ryan Williams, is seventh nationally in rushing yards per game (119.1). Carolina's most disruptive defensive lineman: sophomore end Robert Quinn.
