Virginia Tech vs. Boston College updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday

Live scores, highlights and updates from the Virginia Tech vs. Boston College football game

The Boston College Eagles have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. The Eagles and the Virginia Tech Hokies will face off in an ACC battle at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday at Lane Stadium/Worsham Field. BC should still be riding high after a win, while Virginia Tech will be looking to right the ship.

It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but BC ultimately got the result they were hoping for last week with a 31-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Panthers. WR Zay Flowers had a stellar game for BC as he caught six passes for three TDs and 162 yards. Near the top of the highlight reel was Phil Jurkovec's 77-yard TD bomb to Flowers in the third quarter.

Meanwhile, Virginia Tech came up short against the North Carolina Tar Heels last week, falling 56-45. Virginia Tech's defeat came about despite a quality game from RB Khalil Herbert, who rushed for two TDs and 138 yards on 18 carries. One of the most memorable plays of the game was Herbert's 52-yard touchdown rush in the third quarter.

The Eagles are now 3-1 while the Hokies sit at 2-1. A pair of defensive stats to keep an eye on: BC comes into the matchup boasting the ninth most sacks in the nation at 11. But Virginia Tech is even better: they enter the contest with 13 sacks, good for third best in the nation. With that kind of ball pressure, don't be surprised if there are a lot of short passes in this one.
