Virginia Tech vs. Boston College: Previewing the Eagles with BC Interruption
The Virginia Tech Hokies (3-3, 1-1) return home to Blacksburg for some Thursday night football this week. Playing on Thursday nights helped Tech rise to prominence in the early 1990s. Overall, the Hokies have played on Thursday over 30 times.
Thursday’s opponent is an old friend: The Boston College Eagles. The Eagles and Hokies have played six times on Thursday, splitting those meetings with three wins each. Boston College enters Thursday’s game with a 4-2 record under new head coach Bill O’Brien. Yes, that’s the same Bill O’Brien, who was the offensive coordinator for the Patriots, and Tom Brady before becoming the head coach at Penn State and for the Houston Texans.
