Ever since Matt Ryan performed the much-publicized miracle comeback on a
rainy, dreary Thursday night in late October, Virginia Tech fans and players
have been looking for revenge. The Hokies get their second chance this Saturday
against BC in the third annual ACC Championship Game. Many changes have occurred
for both teams since that game, so what should we expect this time?
The
Hokies are playing in their second ACC Championship Game in three years, and
Tech has the opportunity to win their second outright ACC championship in four
years. Boston College is appearing in their first ACC Championship Game, and the
Eagles will be playing in the most important football game for BC in a long
time, if not ever. The edge the Hokies have in experience in playing in big
games cannot be emphasized enough. Boston College has very, very little
experience in playing in big games, and that factor alone may give Tech a big
edge.
