Tailback Kenny Lewis Jr. caught a pass for one touchdown and ran for another as Virginia Tech went back to its two-quarterback system and defeated Furman 24-7 on Saturday.

Darren Evans scored the third touchdown on a three-yard run as the Hokies (1-1) made good on their plan to get their running game going. They accumulated 261 yards on the ground, including 112 by quarterback Tyrod Taylor, to 34 for the Football Championship Subdivision Paladins (1-1).

Chris Truss caught a 17-yard pass from quarterback Jordan Sorrells with 6:02 left in the game for Furman's only score.

Taylor and Sean Glennon divided the quarterback duties as the Hokies reverted to the tandem system they used last season. Coach Frank Beamer withdrew the redshirt from the more mobile Taylor after the Hokies lost their season opener to East Carolina, and Taylor was the leading rusher against Furman.
