AJ Dillon, Virginia Tech
The Virginia Tech defense will have to get physical against AJ Dillon and the Boston College running game. (Jon Fleming)

If you’re anxious for my conclusions, this year’s Boston College team looks the same as teams from prior years, it’s just less-experienced. The bad news is that they’re big across the board, and they have depth and talent at RB and TE. The good news is that they are replacing a lot of players (of last year’s 13 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, and Honorable Mention all-ACC selections, only two return.) Also good is that the quarterbacks don’t seem to have improved their games much. I’d say the Hokies are reasonably expected to win.
