Grading the three keys A-Tyrod Taylor's scrambling. Not counting sacks, Taylor ran four times for 3 yards. But stats can't measure his most valuable scrambling from yesterday. He twice scurried around in the pocket on the Hokies' final drive, making enough time to hit Danny Coale for an 81-yard pass and Dyrell Roberts for an 11-yard touchdown. B+A steady offensive line. The Hokies allowed four sacks, and offensive line coach Curt Newsome will have to examine the game film to determine how they happened. What's clear is that the Hokies struggled to block defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who had a team-high eight tackles, half a sack and broke up four passes - a record for a Nebraska defensive lineman. But the bottom line remains: The line gave Taylor enough time to make those throws on the last possession. CAllowing fewer big plays. This continues to be a problem. Nebraska had nine plays of 15 yards or longer, including five of 20 or longer. Marshall had a 61-yard touchdown run and 60-yard pass last week. In the opener. Alabama had five plays that gained at least 33 yards.
