Recap: Boston College Football Falls To Virginia Tech, 48-22, Ending Their Five-Game Winning Streak https://t.co/mDzbFREcQq
Final: Virginia Tech 48, Boston College 22 The Eagles (6-4, 3-3) allow 600 total yards, as their five-game winning streak comes to a crashing halt. They can still reach 8 wins for the first time since 2009, but #ThePath to the ACC title game no longer exists.
Final: #Hokies 48, Boston College 22 Tech racks up nearly 600 yards of total offense in its most complete win of the season.
John Love with a career-long 46-yard field goal. #Hokies lead is extended to 48-15 with 10:54 remaining.
#Hokies are 2 of 2 on fourth down thanks to a pair of Drones keepers. Tech is 6 of 11 on third down. So that's essentially eight conversions as we head to the fourth quarter with VT holding a 38-15 lead.
After 3Q: Virginia Tech 38, Boston College 15
Fourth-and-1 pickup by Drones. #Hokies are 2-for-2 on fourth down today. (Though one time they were going to try didn't technically count due to a snap infraction.)
Drones' incomplete pass to open this current drive marked the first time in this game the #Hokies failed to pick up at least 1 yard on a drive's initial play.
BC converts on fourth down. Mansoor Delane comes on a corner blitz and Castellanos gets it out quick to Jaedn Skeete for the 8-yard TD. #Hokies 38, BC 15 after two-point conversion. 2:52 3Q
10-play, 76-yard drive that takes 6:04 off the clock and ends with another touchdown. Ideal way to begin the second half for the #Hokies, who lead BC 38-7. It's tied for the most points scored in the Pry era.
Bhayshul Tuten with his third TD. This one's from 4 yards out, and it's 38-7 VT with 8:50 left in 3Q.
Second half's underway. #Hokies pick up where they left off. First-down catch by Dae'Quan Wright. First-down run by Bhayshul Tuten. Both pinballed off BC defenders.
As @DamienSordelett points out, the 31 points the #Hokies have scored at the half are already their most on the road under Brent Pry.
Nearly a gaffe there by Drones, who had the ball slip out of his hands when he tried to throw a swing pass on third-and-long. He jumped on it, though. Just 11 seconds left in the half. #Hokies
Drones fumbles the ball on third down, but he's able to fall on it. BC calls timeout with 11 seconds left. #Hokies will punt.
Welp, that took a hit with Drones being called for intentional grounding. #Hokies have 21 seconds left at their 44. All three timeouts on the board.
Tuten scoots in from 4 yards out. His second rushing TD of the game. #Hokies take a 31-7 lead over BC with 1:33 left in the half.
Touchdown, Tuten. No. 2 on the day for him. #Hokies are rolling right now, about to go up 31-7.
Free play when a BC player jumps offside and Drones chucked it deep to Da'Quan Felton for a 70-yard pass to the BC 9. #Hokies in business again. Great awareness by Drones to take advantage of the penalty.
Free play and the #Hokies ain't taking the penalty. Drones with a deep shot to Felton, who breaks two or three tackles to the BC 9. 70 yards in total.
BC goes for it on fourth-and-inches from its own 34. Castellanos keeper picks it up. #Hokies
Great play design there. Drones faked a pitch to the left, ran it back to the right side and had all sorts of open space. A 59-yard run takes it to the BC 16. Drones has 116 rushing yards now for the #Hokies.
Drones fakes the pitch to Tuten and goes 59 yards to the BC 16. #Hokies
After 1Q: Virginia Tech 10, Boston College 7 Tough quarter for the Eagles – two picks, only 10 passing yards and a VT onside kick – but they're down just 3. Hokies driving, at the BC 34, looking to add to their lead.
7-yard TD run from former Boston College commit Bhayshul Tuten, as Virginia Tech jumps back in front, 10-7, with 1:28 left in 1Q.
Easy TD for Bhayshul Tuten up the middle. The 7-yarder gives the #Hokies a 10-7 lead on BC.
#Hokies might have seen something on film to know a Drones draw play would work. He has picked up two straight first downs on those plays. Tech at BC 14.
Another QB draw for a first-down run by Drones. #Hokies are really hammering it with him on the ground today.
Drones on the draw picks up two on 4th-and-1. #Hokies now at the BC 33.
Fourth-and-1 for the #Hokies at the BC 35 and Drones picks it up on a QB draw play.
Dorian Strong the first #Hokies player with two picks in a game since Caleb Farley and Jermaine Waller both did it at Miami in 2019.
Dorian Strong is the first #Hokies player with 2 INTs in a game since Caleb Farley and Jermaine Waller each had two against Miami on Oct. 5, 2019.
Another pick by Dorian Strong. He's having a day. #Hokies
BC defense came to play once again. Pressure from George Rooks on third down, and the Hokies go three-and-out. Eagles take over at their own 24, up 7-3, with 8:08 left in 1Q.
Drones' third-down pass is caught by Dae'Quan Wright, but the tight end was out of bounds. Peter Moore's punt is downed at the BC 24. #Hokies
Six rushes, 55 yards for BC on that drive. Castellanos twice scrambled for first downs and Alex Broome had the final 40 yards that got the Eagle in the end zone to make it 7-3. #Hokies
Alex Broome with a 36-yard scamper to the 4 and he scores on the next play. #Hokies had a chance to get off the field earlier on the drive, but couldn't contain Castellanos. BC 7, VT 3, 9:00 1Q
First explosive run for BC. 36 yards for Alex Broome up the gut. Then he scores on a 4-yard touchdown the next play. The Eagles take a 7-3 lead on the #Hokies.
Big tackle from John Pupel on third and 3. Snap infraction on the Hokies on fourth and 1, and Virginia Tech will have to settle for a field goal. Nice stand by the BC defense. Hokies lead, 3-0, after a 27-yard FG from John Love with 12:40 left in 1Q.
John Love's 27-yard field goal is good. #Hokies capitalize off the Dorian Strong interception and take a 3-0 lead on BC just over two minutes in.
Drones was short on a 3rd-and-3 run. #Hokies tried to go with the tush push, but a snap infraction will force a FG from John Love. HIs 27-yard attempt is good. VT 3, BC 0, 12:40 1Q
Drones short on a third-down run. It's fourth-and-1 and the #Hokies are going for it. Snap infraction, though, brings up fourth-and-6 and the field goal unit comes on.
First play of the day: Castellanos tries to sneak it in to Jaden Williams and Dorian Strong swoops in and intercepts it. Heck of a play. Hokies take over at the BC 37.
And an interception on the first play. Dorian Strong with the pick. #Hokies take over the BC 37.
