BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Ryan Williams ran for 120 yards and four touchdowns and helped make sure No. 16 Virginia Tech would send its 21 seniors out of Lane Stadium with a win one last time as the Hokies beat NC State 38-10 Saturday.
The Hokies (8-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) also got a career-best day from wide receiver Jarrett Boykin, who caught six passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, and from linebacker Cody Grimm, who tied an NCAA record by forcing three fumbles in his final home game.
NC State (4-7, 1-6) lost its second straight and for the sixth time in seven games. The Wolfpack allowed at least 30 points for the eighth game in a row, and struggled on offense, turning the ball over four times and allowing five sacks of Russell Wilson.
Wilson did finish the contest with 234 yards and a touchdown to Owen Spencer, who had 74 yards on three catches.
NC State running back Toney Baker had 47 yards to inch closer to 2,000 for his career.
The Wolfpack will finish off their 2009 season on senior day against rival North Carolina on Saturday, November 28 at noon.
