COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Virginia Tech enters unbeaten at 3-0 and has been far more explosive, with 152 total points, 330.7 passing yards per game, and 5.2 yards per play on offense. Boston College is 2-1 and has been steadier than dominant, scoring 21.7 points per game with 216.0 passing yards and 167.0 rushing yards per game, but its defense has allowed 23.7 points per game and 5.4 yards per play. Virginia Tech’s defense has also been more reliable, allowing 16.7 points per game and just 61.0 rushing yards per game, though Boston College’s balanced offense can still help push the game into the 50s if it avoids turnovers.
Virginia Tech’s offense has been the sharper unit by a wide margin, but Boston College has enough scoring ability to help this game clear the total. The Hokies’ 50.7 points per game and strong passing production point to repeated scoring chances, while Boston College’s defense has allowed 23.7 points per game and 331.0 yards per game. My projected final score is Virginia Tech Hokies 31, Boston College Eagles 24, which supports an over result at 55 total points.
