Tech traveled north to face the Boston College (BC) Eagles on Saturday hoping to return with a .500 record. Both teams looked for bounce-back wins coming off their respective crushing losses the week before. Tech’s offense, led by true freshman quarterback Jeff Sims, looked to regain their rhythm and bounce back from last week’s performance.
Tech’s initial drive to start the game came up just short, where a turnover on downs gave Boston College the ball. The Eagles’ rushing offense took Tech’s defense by force, finishing their drive with a touchdown.
On Tech’s following drive, the Eagles strip-sacked Sims, leading to a fumble recovery and a touchdown on the ensuing drive.
