The Hokies hit the road once again this weekend, as they travel to Chestnut Hill Massachusetts to take on Boston College. The Hokies continue to fight for bowl eligibility this season, while Boston College is already bowl-eligible. It seems when these two teams get together it's always a good game. So we should be in for a treat this Saturday.

Broadcast Information:

T.V.: The ACC Network 12 pm Kickoff

On the Call: Jorge Sedano and Orlando Franklin

Radio Virginia Tech: 105.3 The Bear Virginia Tech Sports Network

Radio BC: WEEI 850 AM Flagship Station for BC football

What's at stake?

This is a very winnable game, for the Hokies but they have to play smart football in all three phases. Boston College is always a solid team across the board. Boston College has already punched their ticket to the postseason.

Key Players: Virginia Tech

Defensive: Don't give up the big play.

QB: Kyron Drones put last week's game behind and focus on Boston College.

Key Players: Boston College

QB: Thomas Castellanos doesn't get rattled by Virginia Tech's defensive line. He is also BC's top rusher.

Prediction:

According to the ESPN Matchup Predictor, the Hokies have a slight edge over Boston College. The Hokies have one job on defense keep Thomas Castellanos in check, because he is their top rusher as well if the Hokies can do that then they have a shot. The Hokies have to have a fast start. I believe this will be a good game to watch this weekend, I can see the Hokies pulling out a close one.
