Michael Vick played a little over a half Saturday against Rutgers, but it was more than enough time to make an impact on the game as the Hokies shutout the Knights, 49-0, at Lane Stadium.

For the second time in three games, Vick was the Hokies' leading rusher as he netted 104 yards on 11 carries. He had a 45-yard scramble that set up a touchdown and scored on an 8-yard run that ended with a flip much in the same manner as Vick's touchdown flip against James Madison last season.

The redshirt sophomore was also on with his passing, throwing for 120 yards and a touchdown on 10-of-18 passing. Vick lofted a perfect pass to Emmett Johnson in the back of the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown.

With the game well in hand, Vick sat much of the second half as he has the first two games. The No. 8 Hokies (3-0, 1-0 BIG EAST) have next week off before heading to Chesnut Hill, Mass., for a game with Boston College on Sept. 30. The game will be at 3:30 p.m. and will be telecast live on CBS.
