The Golden Eagles went into this game with a 5-2 record with losses coming from top teams of USC and Clemson both games be settled in the final quarters. So most people expected for this to be a tightly contested ball game. Well the Hokies blew away every bit of chance of that in the first half outscoring the eagles 30-7 in the first half. Boston College did not have much to answer with either in the second half bringing them to 5-3 on the season.
