BC faces unbeaten Virginia Tech in first ACC test

Boston College enters its first ACC game at 2-1 after an uneasy win over Maine, with unresolved issues in red-zone finishing, turnovers, fourth-down execution, protection, and defensive consistency. Virginia Tech’s preparation is focused in part on containing Mason McKenzie’s mobility, while Ethan Grunkemeyer, Luke Reynolds, a productive backfield, and a pass rush credited with 14 sacks present major challenges. The Hokies’ official record remains unclear because one preview lists them at 3-0 while other tracking lists them at 2-0.
