The Hokies held their first full scrimmage of the spring in Lane Stadium on Friday, and things went as expected. The first team offense handled the second team defense, while the starting defenders dominated the reserve offensive players. The young backup quarterbacks showed they have a ways to go, while Ryan Williams provided the big plays on offense that we’ve been hearing about for so long.

Williams had eight carries for 122 yards, including an 80 yard touchdown run on his first carry. He also had a 15 yard reception on a middle screen. Williams not only showed his ability to shake defenders and make big plays, but he also hit the holes and broke tackles. He didn’t run over anyone, but some guys did bounce off of him.

Josh Oglesby didn’t put up Williams’ numbers, but he ran the ball hard and well. He is looking good this spring, and it appears the Hokies have three quality running backs.

Tyrod Taylor looked sharp. He didn’t play very much because the coaching staff wants to take a hard look at Ju-Ju Clayton and Marcus Davis, but Taylor did hit Danny Coale for a 62 yard touchdown.
