Va. Tech holds off ECU, avenges last year's loss
No. 22 Virginia Tech 16, East Carolina 3 Freshman Ryan Williams ran for a season-high 179 yards and Virginia Tech (6-3) avoided its first three-game losing streak in six years, holding off host East Carolina on Thursday night.
Tyrod Taylor had a 13-yard touchdown run, Matt Waldron kicked three field goals. Williams reached 1,000-yards rushing on the season.
They held a 379-277 advantage in total yardage, forced three turnovers and made just enough plays to bounce back from losses to No. 10 Georgia Tech and North Carolina. They also avenged last year's loss to the Pirates.
Mid-American
N. Illinois 50, E. Michigan 6 Tommy Davis returned the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown, and Chad Spann ran for a career-high 174 yards and two scores to help host Northern Illinois rout Eastern Michigan.
The Huskies (6-3, 4-1 Mid-American) won their third consecutive game, scoring on five straight possessions to take a 37-6 halftime lead.
Eastern Michigan (0-9, 0-5) twice drove inside the Northern Illinois 5 in the first quarter, but reached Huskies territory just once the rest of the way.
Temple 34, Miami (Ohio) 32 Bernard Pierce ran for 172 yards and three touchdowns, and Brandon McManus kicked an 18-yard field goal with 3 seconds left to give host Temple (7-2, 5-0 Mid-American Conference) a victory over Miami of Ohio (1-9, 1-5).
The Owls won their seventh consecutive game and have their longest winning streak since they won the final eight games in 1973.
