Thursday Preview - 10.27.05

Thursday night is a good night for football. The Alabama's, Georgia's, and UCLA's of the world are hoping the Hokies trip up. I bet the BCS is too.

Boston College at Virginia Tech - Boston College is on quite a tear this year, with its only loss coming against Florida State. However, they have yet to play a high caliber team and win. The same can be said of Virginia Tech, but I believe the way it handled West Virginia (quality Big East team), speaks volumes. VaTech is a better team than last year, and that's saying something. BC, on the other hand, has yet to prove it's much better than last year's squad. It would take an atrocious game from Marcus Vick for BC to get a win. It may be close for a half, but the Hokies defense is just too good. Tech will slowly accumulate points, but BC will be unable to close the gap. Boston College 10 - VaTech 31.
