Jackson leads No. 13 Virginia Tech past Duke, 24-3 Josh Jackson threw for a touchdown before the weather turned bad, and ran for another after it got really sloppy to keep No. 13 Virginia Tech on track to have its destiny in its control with what coach Justin Fuente called the "gauntlet" ahead.

The running score was just window dressing on a night when Virginia Tech never let Duke get anything going on offense.
