FINAL: Boston College Football Out-Slugs Virginia Tech 31-21, Sets Up Matchup For Ages Against Clemson

Steve Addazio said when he was introduced as head coach many moons ago that it was his goal to win championships during his tenure at Boston College.

Next Saturday, he will have an opportunity to get an inside track to compete for just that.

That’s because his Eagles defeated Virginia Tech in a slug-fest in Blacksburg, Va., 31-21, to set up a matchup against Clemson next Saturday in Chestnut Hill that could lead to BC getting the inside track in the ACC Atlantic race and a berth in the ACC Championship.

The game was a back-and-forth affair, with BC getting on the board first with a three-yard AJ Dillon run to put the Eagles on the board.
