Hokies' Taylor starting to shine Under Frank Beamer, the Hokies always have been a run-first team (and likely will be as long as Beamer and Brian Stinespring are calling the shots). On some days, they're a run-second team, too, When you've got tailbacks like Williams and Darren Evans (whose injury opened the door for Williams to excel), it's hard to argue with that strategy. Even backups Josh Oglesby and David Wilson, who replaced Williams after he suffered a third-quarter ankle injury, was effective. But the Hokies wouldn't have stolen a win over Nebraska in September if not for Taylor.
