Ricky Walker Kick Starts Hokies' 59-Point Scoring Frenzy Against Tar Heels

The 6-2, 300 pound defensive tackled rumbled into the end zone.

Four tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and yet the most eye catching part of defensive tackle Ricky Walker's stat line in Virginia Tech's 59-7 romp over North Carolina was a 12-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown. The Hokies' initial points of the afternoon.

"That's actually my first touchdown ever," said Walker of his scoop-and-score. "I was lucky enough to get the Sunday hop. It hopped right in my hands. I just knew that they was going to blow it incomplete. I just ran to the end zone, and the next thing you know my teammates celebrating with me. So I'm just celebrating also. I was happy. I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time."

I'm most certainly not going to let a fat guy touchdown, especially one by one of the most dominant DTs in the Power Five, simply fly under the radar.
