Ryan. Williams. Is. Awesome.

I attended the Virginia Tech beatdown of the North Carolina State Wolfpack on Saturday, and I got to witness a lot of spectacular plays: Tyrod Taylor tossing a completion while falling backwards to the ground with three defenders hanging off him; Cody Grimm forcing three fumbles by NC State on their first four plays; and Jarrett Boykin making a beautiful diving catch in the end zone for a 38-yard TD. But nothing could match Ryan Williams' third quarter run where he literally dragged an NC State defender ten yards into the end zone. Williams is the sort of special player who just doesn't come along very often. Almost every time he touches the ball, he makes big things happen. And to think: he is only a Freshman. Alas, he probably will not be around for three more years; the big money of the NFL will call him away. But man, it surely is wonderful to be here to see him while the Hokies have him on the roster.
