Logan Thomas passed for two touchdowns and ran for another as No. 7 Virginia Tech Hokies maintained its lead in the ACC Coastal Division with a 24-21 triumph over North Carolina Tar Heels on Thursday.
Jarrett Boykin had 10 catches and David Wilson rushed for over 80 yards for the Hokies, who have won six straight. Virginia Tech (10-1, 6-1 ACC) is 1½ games ahead of rival Virginia in the Coastal Division and can clinch a spot in the ACC Championship Game with a win over the Cavaliers next week.
The Hokies did their damage in the second and third quarters, tying it up on Thomas’ 11-yard scoring pass to Chris Drager in the second and pushing the edge out after the break.
Thomas broke free for a 23-yard score on a quarterback draw early in the third and capped a seven-play drive with a 5-yard touchdown pass later in the frame.
North Carolina battled all the way to the end, cutting it to 24-21 on a touchdown with 2:32 left. An onside kick attempt failed, allowing Virginia Tech to run out the clock.
The Tar Heels have dropped four of their last five.
