Senior led ACC is pass efficiency

Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who has led the #12 Hokies to 10 straight wins and a berth in the ACC Championship Game following an 0-2 start, was voted the ACC Player of the Year for 2010.

Taylor, a senior, was the choice of 27 of the 57 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association that voted. Russell Wilson of NC State was second with 19 votes.
