Boston College Football at Virginia Tech

The Boston College Eagles football team (4-2, 1-1 ACC) looks to get back on the winning list with a road game against the Virginia Tech Hokies (3-3, 1-1 ACC).

At the start of the duel, both teams have had their first bye week of the year, which fell exactly at the halfway point of the season.

So far this year, the Eagles have had a successful start to the season with wins over then No. 1. 10 Florida State, Duquesne, Michigan State and Western Kentucky also suffered losses to No. 19 Missouri (then No. 6) and most recently a loss to Virginia.

On the other hand, the Hokies, who were expected to be a threat in the ACC early in the season, suffered a season-opening loss to Vanderbilt, a Week 4 loss to Rutgers and a Week 5 loss to No. 6 Miami like recorded victories over Marshall, Old Dominion and Stanford.

Although the two programs appear to be out of the College Football Playoff race, they both have a slim but possible chance of reaching the ACC Championship in December. However, a conference loss for either team would most likely eliminate them from contention.

The contest will be the Hokies’ “Orange Effect” game, which will feature orange alternate uniforms. The Eagles will wear white jerseys.
