DURHAM, North Carolina (Ticker) -- When it comes to theVirginia Tech-Duke game, the faces have changed during the past26 years. The result, on the other hand, has not.

Backup quarterback Sean Glennon threw for two touchdowns as12th-ranked Virginia Tech blasted Duke, 43-14, in Atlantic CoastConference action Saturday.


In addition to winning their fifth straight game, the Hokies(6-1, 4-0 ACC Coastal) defeated Duke for the seventh consecutivetime. The Blue Devils (1-6, 0-4 Coastal) fell to 7-8 in theall-time series and have not defeated the Hokies since 1981.

Taking over for injured starter Tyrod Taylor at the start of thesecond quarter, Glennon showed the form that had made him theteam's starter to begin the year. The junior went 16-of-21 for258 yards with no interceptions as the Hokies became Bowleligible for the 15th straight season.


Taylor took over for Glennon during the team's only loss of theseason at LSU on September 8 and had been the starter eversince.


While Taylor's day was cut short by an ankle injury, thefreshman completed 5-of-7 passes for 88 yards with a touchdownand no interceptions. A week after running for a career-best118 yards in a 41-23 win against Clemson, Taylor also carriedthree times for 19 yards.


Taylor's status is uncertain, but he could benefit from the factthat the Hokies don't play again until they host Boston Collegeon October 25.


Several Hokies' wide receivers had big games with Glennon at thehelm, including Josh Morgan, who caught touchdown passes of 19and 40 yards. Eddie Royal led the team with six receptions for91 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown.


Tight end Sam Wheeler had a game-high 94 yards receiving on fourcatches for the Hokies, who have outscored their last fiveopponents, 173-56.


While Virginia Tech's ground game was held in check for the mostpart, Kenny Lewis contributed a 19-yard score and Branden Orebarreled in from a yard out.


Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis, who rushed for a three-yardscore, finished 13-of-24 for 122 yards with no touchdowns andone interception as the Blue Devils lost their fourthconsecutive game.

DURHAM, North Carolina (Ticker) -- When it comes to theVirginia Tech-Duke game, the faces have changed during the past26 years. The result, on the other hand, has not.

Backup quarterback Sean Glennon threw for two touchdowns as12th-ranked Virginia Tech blasted Duke, 43-14, in Atlantic CoastConference action Saturday.


In addition to winning their fifth straight game, the Hokies(6-1, 3-0 ACC Coastal) defeated Duke for the seventh consecutivetime. The Blue Devils (1-6, 0-4) fell to 7-8 in the all-timeseries and have not defeated the Hokies since 1981.

"I thought it was fantastic," Virginia Tech offensivecoordinator Bryan Stinespring said, referring to Glennon'seffort. "He took control and we went straight to the air and hethrew some really nice balls. He went out and ran the offenseand it's a credit to him as a person and as football player tobe ready when called upon."


Taking over for injured starter Tyrod Taylor at the start of thesecond quarter, Glennon showed the form that had made him theteam's starter to begin the year. The junior went 16-of-21 for258 yards with no interceptions as the Hokies became Bowleligible for the 15th straight season.


Taylor took over for Glennon during the team's only loss of theseason at LSU on September 8 and had been the starter eversince.


While Taylor's day was cut short by an ankle injury, thefreshman completed 5-of-7 passes for 88 yards with a touchdownand no interceptions. A week after running for a career-best118 yards in a 41-23 win against Clemson, Taylor also carriedfive times for 20 yards.


Taylor's status is uncertain, but he could benefit from the factthat the Hokies don't play again until they host Boston Collegeon October 25.


Several Hokies' wide receivers had big games with Glennon at thehelm, including Josh Morgan, who caught touchdown passes of 19and 40 yards. Eddie Royal led the team with six receptions for90 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown.


Tight end Sam Wheeler had a game-high 94 yards receiving on fourcatches for the Hokies, who have outscored their last fiveopponents, 173-56.


"We had put a lot of things into trying to slow Tyrod Taylordown, but regardless of who the quarterback is you have to playgood, sound defense and get off the field," Duke coach Ted Roofsaid. "There were too many long pass plays.


"Sometimes it was lack of pressure and sometimes it was theirguys making big plays and their quarterback making good throws.We have to take a hard look at things during the off week andfigure out a way to correct them."


While Virginia Tech's ground game was held in check for the mostpart, Kenny Lewis contributed a five-yard score and Branden Orebarreled in from two yards out.


Like the offense, the Hokies defense was led by a backupSaturday, as linebacker Brett Warren made a career-high 11tackles to go along with an interception. The junior played inplace of injured Vince Hall, who ranked fourth in the ACC with10.2 tackles per game before breaking his wrist in lastSaturday's win.


"Sean Glennon certainly stepped up and Brett Warren came in andplayed really well for us," Hokies coach Frank Beamer said."That's when you know you have a good team coming together, whenguys get called upon and they come in and answer the bell. I'mencouraged right now - this is a really good win for thisfootball program."


Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis, who rushed for a one-yardscore, finished 13-of-24 for 119 yards with a touchdown and oneinterception as the Blue Devils lost their fourth consecutivegame.
