Blacksburg, VA (My Sportsbook) - Ryan Williams powered his way to 120 yards and four touchdowns on 32 carries as 16th-ranked Virginia Tech downed North Carolina State, 38-10, at Lane Stadium.

"He is strong, quick and powerful," Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer said after Williams recorded his eighth 100-yard game of the season. "I think he's a complete back."

Tyrod Taylor finished 9-of-17 for 197 yards and threw for a score for the Hokies (8-3, 5-2 ACC), who have won three in a row and conclude their season at Virginia next Saturday.

Russell Wilson was 15-of-26 for 234 yards, one score and one interception for the Wolfpack (4-7, 1-6), losers in six of their last seven.

Owen Spencer notched 74 yards and NC State's lone touchdown on three receptions.

Matt Waldron's 26-yard field goal and a Williams four-yard run pushed VT ahead 10-0 in the first quarter before NC State countered with Wilson's 20-yard connection to Spencer.

Williams restored Tech's 10-point edge early in the second quarter on a one-yard plunge, then a 45-yard make from Josh Czajkowski pulled the visitors within 17-10.

Williams added his third rushing score of the game, another one-yard dash, with 37 seconds left in the half and Tech led 24-10. The freshman back then concluded the Hokies' first drive of the second half with a 19-yard TD run.

Jarrett Boykin's leaping 38-yard reception boosted the home team to a 38-10 advantage with 1:42 left in the third quarter and the Hokie defense maintained that advantage through a scoreless fourth.

"Whenever Tyrod throws it up and the ball is in the air, I just try my best to go up and come down with it," Boykin said. "That's the way the day went, and I just went along with it and just kept making plays."
