Here comes Virginia Tech. After a humbling 23-3 loss to Clemson on October 1, their only defeat of the year, the Hokies have rattled off consecutive convincing wins over Miami and Wake Forest. <\/p>\n
NCAAF Week 8: Boston College vs Virginia Tech<\/strong> With the ACC crown and perhaps the national title still on their minds, is there any chance they get caught looking past the disappointing Boston College this week?<\/p>\n Boston College Eagles (1-5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Sure, it was possible that Boston College was overhyped entering the 2011 season. Its FBS-leading run defense from a year ago would be tough to duplicate and its offense lacked playmakers aside from Montel Harris. However, even if you picked BC as a bust pick, did you expect the Eagles to be this bad? 1-5 bad? I didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n Boston College can\u2019t do anything right this season. Its offense isn\u2019t even a top-100 unit and has failed to score 20 points in all five losses. That Harris is now out for the season after re-injuring his knee two weeks ago versus Clemson only adds to the team\u2019s woes. The Eagles\u2019 run defense has slipped from first to 68th<\/sup> and it ranks 96th<\/sup> in the nation in total defense.<\/p>\n (16) Virginia Tech Hokies (6-1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Maybe Virginia Tech will look back on the Clemson loss and thank the Tigers. It seems the team has woken up and finally started looking legit against reasonably tough opponents over its last two games. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n The big difference: Logan Thomas. The new starting quarterback and successor to Tyrod Taylor looked shaky over his first few games but has settled in nicely. He threw for 310 yards and three scores against Miami\u2019s athletic, fast defense and added 280 yards and two scores against Wake Forest. <\/p>\n He was picked off zero times over those two wins. Playing a Cam-Newton type of roll, the 6\u20196\u201d, 254-pound Thomas also has four rushing touchdowns in his last two contests. <\/p>\n He\u2019s a battering ram.<\/p>\n The pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n Now that Thomas has hit his stride, the Hokies should have a pretty easy time with BC. I even think they can cover the 21 points. Not only is Virginia Tech\u2019s suddenly dangerous offense a major threat to BC\u2019s pushover \u201cD,\u201d Chase Rettig and the Eagles offense have little to no chance against a stout Hokies \u201cD\u201d on the road.<\/p>\n Boston College vs Virginia Tech prediction: <\/strong>Virginia Tech 38, Boston College 10<\/p>\n Money Line: OFF The 2011 CFB Season is finally here.
