Virginia Tech bags ACC title
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 11 - 2011

Logan Thomas threw for two touchdowns and ran for one and David Wilson scored on two long runs in the second half as No. 6 Virginia Tech shut out No. 24 Virginia 38-0.
The Hokies (11-1, 7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) earned the league's Coastal Division title and a rematch with No. 18 Clemson in next weekend's ACC championship game in Charlotte. It was their eighth consecutive victory in the series, and 12th in 13 games. They will be playing for the ACC title for the fifth time and seeking their fourth title in five years.
The Cavaliers (8-4, 5-3) had won four straight and seemed ready to finally challenge their state rival, but quarterback Michael Rocco threw two interceptions and fumbled it away once.
Boise State 36, Wyoming 14: Kellen Moore tossed three touchdown passes, including a 46-yarder on the final play of the first half, to lead No. 7 Boise State to a victory over Wyoming. After getting off to a sluggish start, Moore and the Broncos (10-1, 5-1) rattled off 36 straight points to put the game away and secure a second-place finish in their first year as a member of the Mountain West Conference.
Moore was 24-of-36 for 279 yards and he threw touchdowns of 17 and 10 yards in the second half.
No. 9 Oregon 49, Oregon State 21: LaMichael James ran for 142 yards before leaving with what appeared to be a left elbow injury, and No. 9 Oregon beat Oregon State to clinch the Pac-12 North and a spot in the conference's first championship game.
No. 11 Michigan State 31, Northwestern 17: Keshawn Martin returned a punt 57 yards for a touchdown just before halftime and Kirk Cousins threw two TD passes to B.J. Cunningham as No. 11 Michigan State warmed up for next week's Big Ten championship game by beating Northwestern.
The Spartans had already wrapped up the Legends Division title and a berth in the league championship game next week. Now they have the best record in the division, as well, and 10 victories overall (10-2, 7-1).
No. 13 Georgia 31, No. 25 Georgia Tech 17: Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes and No. 13 Georgia extended its domination over No. 25 Georgia Tech, pulling away for a victory.
The Bulldogs (10-2) did not get caught looking past their state rival to next week's return trip to Atlanta, when they will take a 10-game winning streak into the Southeastern Conference championship game against top-ranked LSU.
No. 15 Wisconsin 45, No. 20 Penn State 7: Montee Ball scored four more touchdowns in his pursuit of an NCAA record, powering No. 15 Wisconsin to a rout of No. 20 Penn State and a spot in next week's Big Ten championship game.
No. 17 Michigan 40, Ohio State 34: Denard Robinson accounted for five touchdowns, helping No. 17 Michigan beat Ohio State and snap a school-record, seven-game losing streak in the rivalry.
Other results: Oklahoma 26, Iowa State 6; Alabama 42, Auburn 14; Baylor 66, Texas Tech 42, S. Carolina 34, Celmson 13, Stanford 28, Notre Dame 14, USC 50, UCLA 0.
