Virginia Tech beat Boston College 21-14, reaching 4-0 for the first time since 2017. Redshirt freshman Jeffrey Overton Jr. scored the winning touchdown on a 76-yard run with about five minutes left and rushed for 190 yards in rain and 40–50 mph winds.
After falling behind 14-6, Virginia Tech’s 10-play, 80-yard drive ended with quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Marlion Jackson. Boston College quarterback Mason McKenzie ran for 138 yards on 26 carries and scored both Eagles touchdowns, accounting for 249 of BC’s 261 total yards.
The article argues Overton should become Virginia Tech’s lead back ahead of Marcellous Hawkins, while both remain important. It also questions offensive coordinator Ty Howle’s conservative play-calling, citing a goal-line sequence that ended in a field goal. Edge rushers Aycen Stevens, Cortez Harris and Mylachi Williams combined for 12.5 sacks through four games.
