The #2 ranked Boston College Eagles travel to Blacksburg to face the #8
ranked Hokies in potentially the biggest Thursday night game in ESPN’s
history. The nation will be watching to see if yet another highly-ranked team
will fall. Virginia Tech will be looking to maintain the momentum gained once
the ACC season started in a game with huge importance to both teams. Can the
Hokies gain revenge for last year’s 22-3 loss, or will BC continue their
surprising season?
Preseason predictions had Boston College finishing anywhere from second to
last in the Atlantic Division, mostly due to the coaching change from steady Tom
O’Brien to former Green Bay Packer offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski.
Coach Jagz brought in former ECU head coach Steve Logan as offensive coordinator
and opened up the offense, with impressive results thus far. The Hokie defense
will be challenged by the unpredictable Eagle offense.
