Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (3-5) want to build off last week’s miraculous upset of the Virginia Cavaliers (2-5) when visiting Charlottesville this weekend.

Boston College (3-6) remained winless in ACC play, falling to 0-6.

The Hokies controlled what is usually a tightly contested game from the start, building a 20-0 halftime lead and never really being threatened.

At the moment the Virginia Tech Hokies show a record of 2-2, and have published a corresponding slate of 2-2 against the spread. The 6-foot, 200-pound redshirt junior tossed a 27-yard touchdown to Cam Phillips in the first quarter for his lone scoring pass on the afternoon.

Joey Slye added a 47-yard field goal with 1:13 left in the quarter to make it 10-0.

Virginia Tech is coming off a 45-43 loss to No. 23 Duke as 3 1/2-point home chalk, recording its eighth outright loss in its last 11 as favorites, a streak that includes its last meeting with Boston College when the Hokies came up short in a 33-31 home loss last season.

Motuapuaka then stripped running back Jordan Gowins and ran back the fumble, making it 17-0. The only other instance was against Furman.

Defensive end Dadi Nicolas got his long-awaited first sack of the year to end a Boston College drive in the third quarter.

Slye’s third field goal – a 32-yarder – made it 23-0 after Greg Stroman’s 31-yard punt return gave the Hokies the ball at BC’s 22-yard line.

The Eagles, who got a 29-yard field goal from Mike Knoll and a 3-yard touchdown run from freshman running back Richard Wilson, have scored only 48 points in the five conference losses – the offense producing five touchdowns. Boston College Eagles rank at 39 for 231.0 road rushing yards where as Virginia Tech Hokies rank at 46 for allowing 163.0 rushing yards at home.
