Virginia Tech pulled off a tough win (28 - 23) at Boston College tonight to improve to 6-0. BC slips to 3-2, but their losses are to #1 ranked Miami and #4 ranked VT. BC looked impressive with 260+ return yards on special teams, but self-destructed with crucial penalties and 4 turnovers. Meanwhile, the Hokies were plagued by penalties, racking up 14 (FOURTEEN) for 99 yards. Their running game looked very good, with 61 rushes for 330 yards. However, Tech's dependence on the run worries me. How will they cope when they face a big defensive team that is good against the run?

Lee Corso kept reminding the audience of an interesting fact. Of the last 14 touchdown drives for Virginia Tech, 11 of them have been for 70+ yards. This was illustrated by the deplorable field position they had for the entire game.

Tech will probably be on upset watch until they face Miami at the end of the season. Big games will include a tough Pitt team at home, Syracuse at the Carrier Dome (where VT almost always loses), and instate rival Virginia.
