The Boston College Eagles present an unusual occurrence. It is an ACC opening game in the third week of the season; September 17th. This week is usually reserved for a non-conference peer or near peer team as a final test before heading into a heavy ACC schedule.
The BC Eagles came over to the ACC with us from the Big East in the big expansion period. Tech and BC go pretty far back, and there have been more than a few tough games, nasty surprises (Matty Ice in the rain), and redemption (ACC Championship later that year).
