BLACKSBURG – Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones threw two touchdown passes and rushed for 99 yards, as the No. 1-ranked Buckeyes rallied from a small halftime deficit to defeat Virginia Tech 42-24 at Lane Stadium on Monday night.
Jones, who got the starting job over J.T. Barrett, had a touchdown pass and a touchdown run in the second half, helping the Buckeyes avenge last season’s 35-21 loss to the Hokies in Columbus, Ohio. Behind Jones, Ohio State amassed 572 yards of total offense.
“I believe our team is better than what the score was tonight,” Tech coach Frank Beamer said.
