BOX SCORE
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Freshman cornerback Eric Green
intercepted two passes and Virginia Tech held Temple to 116 yards
as the No. 3 Hokies beat the Owls 35-13 on Saturday.
Green, making his first start for the Hokies (5-0, 3-0 Big East
Conference), intercepted a pass and returned it 41 yards to set up
a touchdown that gave the Hokies a 28-13 lead. He also intercepted
a pass in the end zone with nine minutes left to play.
Temple (3-3, 0-2) cut the Hokies' 21-7 halftime lead when
quarterback Michael Vick fumbled on the first play of the third
quarter and linebacker Taylor Suman recovered for the Owls to set
up Mike Frost's 26-yard TD pass to Charles Cobb.
Vick turned the ball over three times, was sacked four times,
and rushed for just 55 yards. He had averaged 107.3 yards.
Virginia Tech came out strong, taking a 21-0 lead early in the
second quarter. Temple linebacker Chonn Lacey intercepted a pass by
Vick and ran 65 yards for a touchdown with about a minute left in
the half.
Virginia Tech took an early lead after tailback Wayne Ward
blocked a punt two minutes into the game. Linebacker Ben Taylor
recovered and ran for 9 yards. On the ensuing possession, tailback
Lee Suggs ran 7 yards for the touchdown.
