GAME RECAP

Jim Druckenmiller threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns to lift Virginia Tech past Rutgers, 45-17, and into sole possesion of first place in the Big East Conference.

Druckenmiller completed a 7-yard scoring pass to Bryan Still with six seconds left in the half and keyed a 17-point third quarter by connecting on a 40-yard bomb to Jermaine Holmes.

The Hokies, who improved to 5-2 overall and 3-0 in the conference, scored on three of their first four possessions of the second half.

Virginia Tech added a pair of defensive touchdowns scores in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Defensive end Hank Coleman returned a fumble 51 yards for a score and linebacker Myron Newsome brought back an interception 71 yards for a score.

Rutgers (1-5, 0-3) has dropped four straight.
