Back from bye, Boston College (4-2, 1-1) football takes on Virginia Tech (3-3, 1-1) this Thursday night at Lane Stadium. Tech was last seen handily taking out ACC newcomer Stanford before a break of their own. The Hokies were viewed as an ACC dark horse entering the season, but have stumbled a bit out of the gates. They’ve had close losses to Vanderbilt, looking better at this stage, Rutgers, and on the road to Miami while their three wins came against less heralded competition.
Va Tech’s offense has some shades of BC. Kyron Drones is a dual threat quarterback who operates best out of script and does a great job keeping plays alive.
