North Carolina State Wolfpack (4-6)

N.C. State-Virginia Tech Preview

(AP) -- Tyrod Taylor cruised in the first half last weekend against one of the two worst teams in the ACC's Atlantic Division. He and Virginia Tech's offense could find things just as easy this weekend against the other one.

Taylor and the No. 16 Hokies try for a third straight victory Saturday in their home finale when they face North Carolina State for the first time in four years.

Virginia Tech (7-3, 4-2) got a big first half from Taylor en route to a 36-9 victory at Maryland last Saturday. The junior threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns before halftime, finishing the day completing 13 of 23 for 268 yards. (MORE)
