CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Ryan Williams ran for 182 yards and four touchdowns and No. 14 Virginia Tech beat Virginia 42-13 Saturday in what was likely Al Groh’s last game as Virginia’s coach.
The Hokies (9-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their sixth straight in the series and for the 10th time 11 meetings with the Cavaliers (3-9, 2-6). It was their eighth victory in nine games against Groh, and ended Virginia’s worst season since it finished 2-9 in 1982.
Groh, who has a contract clause requiring that the school inform him by Nov. 30 if it plans to add a year, is expected to instead be fired. Virginia has had three losing seasons in the last four and its average attendance has fallen by nearly 14,000 in two years.
