BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech tailback Steven Peoples scored three touchdowns, including two before halftime, and Tech’s defense notched its second shutout of the season, as the No. 13 Hokies gradually pulled away from Old Dominion, winning 38-0 in a non-conference game played Saturday afternoon at Lane Stadium.
With the win, Tech moved to 4-0 on the season – its first 4-0 start since 2011. That year also marked the last time the Hokies won all their non-conference games. Old Dominion fell to 2-2 on the season.
Tech was sluggish for much of the first half, but came up with a big play when backup free safety Divine Deablo intercepted a pass in Old Dominion territory.
