Virginia Tech (3-3) will host Boston College (4-2) tonight at Lane Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET), with both teams 1-1 in the ACC and coming off a bye week. Whichever conference rival wins this game could take a big step forward in the standings, and the squad that loses will be all but out of the ACC race.
When QB Kyron Drones and the Hokies last played two weekends ago, they blew out Stanford. They gave sixth-ranked Miami a close battle in late September, too, but the Hurricanes ultimately prevailed, 38-34. Virginia Tech relies on big plays on offense and aggressive ball-hawking on defense.
The Eagles, meanwhile, have only lost by six to 19th-ranked Missouri and by 10 to Virginia two weeks ago. QB Thomas Castellanos, when he's on, has been superb. But when he's struggling, he and the BC offense become turnover machines.
Will Boston College get back on track and bag a massive road victory? Or will Virginia Tech mount another convincing victory and set the stage for a late-season run at the conference?
