GAME SPONSOR
VIRGINIA TECH HOSTS BC FOR HOMECOMING
• Virginia Tech enjoys back-to-back home games for the first time this season. The Hokies are coming off a 49-28 loss on Thursday night vs. Georgia Tech (10/25).
• Virginia Tech will host a resurgent Boston College squad that registered a 27-14 home win vs. No. 25 Miami (10/26) and has won three of its last four contests.
• Virginia Tech owns a three-game winning streak against the Eagles and has held BC to 10 points or fewer in each of those contests.
• In two wins vs. BC under head coach Justin Fuente, the Hokies have outscored the Eagles by a 72-10 margin.
• Fuente is seeking his 50th career head coaching win (26 with Memphis, 23 with Virginia Tech).
INSIDE THE SERIES: VIRGINIA TECH VS. BOSTON COLLEGE
• Saturday marks the 27th game between Virginia Tech and Boston College with the Hokies leading the all-time series, 18-8.
• The last time Virginia Tech faced a ranked Boston College team was 10 years ago in the 2008 ACC Championship Game, a 30-12 win for the Hokies over the No. 18 Eagles.
• Of the 34 shutouts in the Bud Foster Era, three have come against Boston College. Tech's three shutouts of BC since 1987 are tied with Temple for the most of any opponent.
• The Hokies look to win consecutive meetings in Blacksburg against the Eagles for the first time since the 2009 and 2011 seasons.
• The series dates back to 1993 and the Hokies have won eight of their 10 meetings against the Eagles.
• This will only be Virginia Tech's second-ever homecoming game played in November. The other one was a 23-21 loss to Florida State on Nov. 5, 1977.
ON THE JOB TRAINING FOR THE #LPD
• Through the first seven games of 2018, 70.1% (54 of 77) of Tech's defensive starts have been made by underclassmen.
• Only three juniors or seniors have started every game on defense for the Hokies in 2018 - DT Ricky Walker, DB Reggie Floyd and DE Houshun Gaines.
FOOTBALL IS FAMILY AT VIRGINIA TECH
• Virginia Tech alums Trey, Terrell and Tremaine Edmunds are sponsoring 50 foster children from their hometown of Danville, Va., allowing them to bus to Blacksburg to attend Saturday's game vs. BC.
