Virginia Tech quarterback Jerod Evans describes himself as his own biggest critic, and that feeling holds true even after he makes a play that results in a touchdown.That was the case in the Hokies 49-0 victory against Boston College .Late in the first half, after a 29-yard punt return set Virginia Tech up at the Eagles 30, Evans threw to Isaiah Ford in the back of the end zone. Ford was double-covered, but still managed to come away with the football.It was the first play Evans mentioned when asked if he sees things he still needs to improve upon.I have more, but again, you just learn from the mistakes that you have, he said. Checking out of plays, doing stuff like that, doing stuff a couple of times that I could have done better without the play clock running down.Hokies coach Justin Fuente made sure to address the pass to Ford with his quarterback, too. He doesnt want to see the risky type of pass repeated when Virginia Tech (2-1) hosts East Carolina (2-1) on Saturday.The Pirates have won the last two meetings, and six in a row against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents.Jerod knows that were not supposed to throw the ball into double coverage like that, Fuente said this week. Its a minus on the grade sheet and a plus on the results sheet.That said, the Hokies first-year coach noted that Evans confidence in Ford coming through for him is somewhat understandable. Ford has 20 receptions for 259 yards and three touchdowns.Obviously he went up and made the play and we feel good about Isaiah and our chances with him, he said. It was a heck of a catch. I dont think we just want to start chucking it to him with two people on him all the time, though.While pledging to heed his coachs insistence on better decision-making, Evans also seems to be trying to elevate the Hokies offensive expectations, perhaps based on his own history. Last season at Trinity Valley Community College in Texas, he played in just eight games, but threw 38 touchdown passes and just three interceptions. This season, hes got 10 touchdowns and one interception on a tipped pass.Obviously youre confident after a 49-0 win, he said. I just dont know to what extent. Ill find out more on Thursday and Friday, but I think the guys are confident. I dont think some of the guys have ever scored 49 points in a game, so I thinks thats definitely a boost.The Hokies have reached that plateau once in the last two seasons, in a 51-24 victory at Purdue last season.Pirates first-year coach Scottie Montgomery sees a vast different in the challenge the Hokies present offensively under Fuente.That offense has grown from last year to this year as much as any offense, I think, to this point in time, he said. Hes been blessed with some really good players. Jerod Evans, his quarterback, has complete faith in (Ford) and (tight end) Bucky (Hodges), and those two combined together give them some great talent and weapons in their offense.Evans hopes to build on the Hokies success against Boston College to make it a habit.Once you do it a couple of times, its like anything, Evans said. Once you rep it so many times, it becomes the norm. Obviously it was just one game. We still have to work on stuff that we arent doing well on.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys .

Kent 203 for 3 (Denly 82*) beat Gloucestershire 200 (Gidman 3-28) by seven wicketsScorecard Joe Denlys unbeaten 82 helped Kent to kick off their 165th Canterbury Week fixtures with a comfortable seven-wicket Royal London Cup win over Gloucestershire. Denly hit nine fours and a six to anchor the successful Spitfires run-chase to secure a fourth South Group win with 52 balls to spare and maintain Kents hopes of securing a quarter-final berth.In pursuit of Gloucestershires modest total of 200 all out, Kent were given a sound start by in-form openers Denly and Daniel Bell-Drummond, who both went into the game boasting a 60-plus average in this seasons 50-over competition.On a tricky pitch on which boundaries came at a premium, the pair equalled Kents record List A first-wicket stand against Gloucestershire - drawing level with the 92 set by Brian Luckhurst and Graham Jonson here in 1972 - when Bell-Drummond fell for 42. Playing back to one from Benny Howell that just held its line against the St Lawrence slope, the ball clipped off stump to end Bell-Drummonds 59-ball stay.Denly, who posted centuries in Kents Royal London games against Glamorgan in June and at the Ageas Bowl against Hampshire recently, maintained his form by marching to a 71-ball 50 with seven fours.Kent skipper Sam Northeast contributed 26 to the chase before he mistimed a back-foot force against one that held up on the surface to clip a return catch to the bowler David Payne and make it 146 for 2.Sam Billings erratic form continued when he too clipped back a miscued drive to the bowler, this time against spinner Graeme van Buuren, bringing in Darren Stevens, batting in black trainers. Where others had struggled for their timing, Stevens was soon blazing it to all parts. He moved past 7000 List A career runs in the process and went on to win the game with a pulled six to finish unbeaten on 28 from 21 balls.Having won the toss and elected to field, Kent made their opening breakthrough with the 12th ball of the day and the sixtth delivery down the Nackington Road slope from Matt Coles.dddddddddddd A quick inswinging yorker, the ball beat Phil Mustards clip to leg and rearranged the stumps to make it 7 for 1. Coles struck again in his third over, beating Ian Cockbains back-foot defensive push to send the right-hander packing lbw for 6.The dismissal brought together Gloucestershire captain Michael Klinger and Kiwi batsman Hamish Marshall. The pair added 42 in 12.1 overs until Klinger, on 36 and in aiming to steer one from Darren Stevens down to third man, only succeeded in toe-ending the ball onto the base of off stump.Stevens completed his 10-over stint with figures of 1 for 28 as the visitors limped to 96 for 3 at the midpoint of their innings. Stevens was duly replaced by Charlie Hartley, making his first Kent appearance since late 2014.Fresh from back-to-back five-wicket hauls for Kent 2nds, Hartley struck in his second over, trapping Marshall lbw for 43 with a full offcutter as the batsman aimed to clip leg-side. Hartley struck again in near identical fashion on his next over, snaring Van Buuren lbw as the fifth successive wicket of the innings fell from the same end.That run was broken in the next over when Jack Taylor chipped a slower ball straight back to Will Gidman, the on-loan Nottinghamshire seamer making his home debut for Kent against his former county, who took a comfortable return catch. Gidman struck again by clipping the top of Benny Howells leg stump with an in-ducker then another slower delivery, a low full-toss, accounted for Craig Miles who clipped it straight to midwicket.Tom Smith and David Payne added 36 for ninth wicket before Payne ran himself out when chancing a second run to Bell-Drummond at deep cover. As Gloucestershire finally limped to 200, so Mitch Claydon took his sole wicket by bowling Matt Taylor in the final over, leaving Tom Smith unbeaten on 29. ' ' '
