BLACKSBURG, Va. — Duke Johnson ran for 249 yards and scored two touchdowns and Miami took advantage of Virginia Tech’s fumbles on three straight second-half drives in a 30-6 victory Thursday night.

The Hurricanes (5-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) outgained Virginia Tech 255-36 in the first half in taking a 24-0 lead, then took the ball away on the Hokies’ first three drives of the second half. The first takeaway came at Miami’s 1 as Deon Bush stripped Marshawn Williams and made the recovery, too.

Virginia Tech (4-4, 1-3) lost for the second week in a row and for the fourth time in its last five Thursday night appearances. Its continuing offensive struggles drew boos before halftime and the fumbling sent fans heading for the exits.

The Hokies also almost had their 250-game scoring streak that dated to 1995 come to an end, but backup quarterback Mark Leal hit Isaiah Ford for a 14-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-10 with 1:30 left.

Johnson, who missed the Hurricanes’ game against Virginia Tech last season with a broken right ankle, got the ball on Miami’s first seven plays from scrimmage, and he was just warming up.
