Virginia Tech vs Boston College Prediction
Virginia Tech enters with major advantages in scoring and passing production, and Grunkemeyer has yet to throw an interception through three games. Boston College has created six interceptions, but McKenzie has thrown five of his own, which is a concern against a Virginia Tech defense with 14 sacks. The Hokies also have two productive running backs to keep the offense balanced. Boston College has stayed competitive in its last two games, but Virginia Tech’s passing attack and defensive pressure will be too much over four quarters. Final Score Prediction: Virginia Tech Hokies win, 34-17.
