CHARLOTTESVILLE -- Virginia Tech winning football games with its offense?

Anyone who had said that two months ago would have been a candidate to be put in restraints and carted off to the nearest loony farm.

Well, the only ones going plumb crazy these days are the ones trying to stop the Hokies' offense.

Going wild for a fourth consecutive game Saturday afternoon at Scott Stadium, Tech's newfound offense got 260 yards passing from Sean Glennon and 147 yards rushing from Branden Ore and whipped No. 16 Virginia 33-21 to claim the ACC's Coastal Division title.

With its ninth victory in 10 games, Tech (10-2, 7-1 ACC) advances to meet Atlantic Division winner Boston College in Saturday's ACC championship game in Jacksonville, Fla. The victor will punch a ticket to the Jan. 3 Orange Bowl.

In disposing of archrival UVa for a fourth consecutive year, the Hokies rolled up 430 total yards in becoming the first team to score 30 or more points this season on the Cavaliers (9-3, 6-2).

"I think our confidence right now is at an all-time high ... the last few games we've been able to move the ball very effectively and put up points on people," said Glennon, who completed 13 of 19 passes for 260 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown strike to Eddie Royal with 12 seconds left in the first half that put Tech ahead to stay at 20-14.

For the third straight game, Tech rotated Glennon and freshman Tyrod Taylor at quarterback. Taylor didn't have big numbers -- 4-for-6 passing for 39 and nine runs for 17 yards -- but his blazing speed enabled him to beat UVa's defense around the corner twice for Tech's other two TDs.

"Sean made a couple scrambles and some great throws, and we got a couple good catches out of them," said Tech coach Frank Beamer, after his team had beaten its intrastate rival for the eighth time in the past nine meetings. "Tyrod made a couple of runs that were the difference in the game.

"As I said going into the game, they both give you things that win football games. We're trying our best to get that out of both of them, and today we did. When you have two quarterbacks that are so different, it adds something to your offense."

Tech offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring switched his QBs 20 times in the contest. Saturday marked the first time that the new QB plan had been in full effect, as Glennon sustained a concussion early in the Florida State game two weeks ago, and Taylor was sidelined prematurely by bruised ribs last Saturday against Miami. The two signal-callers are happy with their new double-team gig.

"Me and Ty were talking about it, and we were like, 'this is working well,'" Glennon said. "We're happy when each other does well, and we're both getting out there and playing and scoring and doing big things for the team. And it's keeping the defense off balance."

Taylor concurred, saying, "at first, we kind of had our different thoughts about it, but right now we're clicking and we like how it's going."

Second that motion, Tech's wideouts say. They averaged a robust 17.6 yards per catch Saturday. Royal had six receptions for a career-high 147 yards. Josh Morgan had four catches for 75 yards, and Josh Hyman snared four passes for 63 yards.

"Our offense ... this is just awesome, this is just fun right now," Hyman said. "We've always had the defense and special teams. This team is complete now."

Ore's return to form certainly helps substantiate that statement. Proving without a doubt that he's back to full speed from malady of nagging injuries, the junior registered season highs for carries (31) and rushing yards. It was the first time he broken the 100-yard barrier in 16 games dating back to last season, when he was the ACC's No. 2 rusher with 1,137 yards.

"It feels good to be back," Ore said. "It couldn't have come at a better time for us."

In dealing UVa its first home loss of the season, Tech led 10-0 before watching the hosts rally to take a 14-13 lead with 6:35 left in the second quarter.

Trying to make something happen in the final minute of the half, UVa paid for it when Tech cornerback Brandon Flowers picked off a Jameel Sewell pass at the Hokies' 35 with 40 seconds on the clock.

Instead of running out the half, the Hokies went for a score. After completing a 26-yard pass to Morgan to the UVa 39, Glennon collaborated with Royal for a 39-yard TD pass that changed the entire complexion of the game.

"We needed that boost going into halftime," said Royal, who beat two defenders on the post route. "College football is about momentum, and they definitely had it, and we knew we needed to find a way to get it before going into halftime."

After Sewell's 2-yard TD run with 2:51 left in the third quarter narrowed Tech's lead to 23-21, the Hokies responded with 68-yard drive on their first series of the fourth quarter to push the lead back to nine. A 25-yard Glennon-to-Morgan hookup and a 25-yard burst by Ore were the key plays in the drive.

Taylor got the score, turning what was supposed to be a pass play into a 5-yard burst around the left side in which he left defenders in his dust.

Tech's defense was up to its normal chores, holding UVa to 97 yards rushing and 241 total yards. The Martin brothers -- Orion and Cam -- of Martinsville had a strong day. Orion, a defensive end, had two of Tech's six sacks, while Cam, an outside linebacker, had a team-high nine tackles. Linebacker Vince Hall and Barry Booker each had 1.5 sacks.

The victory gave Tech's 20 seniors a 4-0 career sweep of their in-state rival. The group will go out as the first senior class in history to win 10 games in four consecutive seasons.

"I'm ready for a trip to Florida, man," said Hall, referring to the trip to Jacksonville. "I'm tired of this cold. I'm ready to put on some shorts and sandals."
