Virginia Tech visits Boston College on Saturday seeking its first 4-0 start since 2017. Boston College junior QB Mason McKenzie has 225 rushing yards through three games but has thrown five interceptions; weather is expected to significantly affect the matchup.
Boston College senior linebacker Anthony Palano leads the Eagles with 34 tackles, including 17 solo, a sack and two interceptions. Both picks came against Rutgers, with the second sealing the win. Virginia Tech junior tight end Luke Reynolds has 25 catches, 265 receiving yards and four touchdowns through three games, leading all college tight ends in catches and touchdowns and ranking second in yards behind Hunter Tipton’s 307 in four games.
Virginia Tech leads the all-time series 22-11. The teams first met in 1993 and played every year afterward except last season; they split their 2007 and 2008 ACC Championship Game meetings. In this week’s SP+ rankings, Boston College is No. 85, down four places despite beating FCS Maine by six as a 38.5-point favorite. Virginia Tech remains No. 28 after a road win over Maryland.
