Hokies quarterback Ryan Willis threw for 344 yards and four touchdowns, but was also intercepted three times, and Tech was only able to run for 98 yards against the Eagles.

Boston College quarterback Anthony Brown had a clean afternoon, completing 15 of his 26 pass attempts for 275 yards and two touchdowns, without a turnover.

Tailback A.J. Dillon ran for 81 yards on 23 carries for Boston College, which has beaten Virginia Tech in back-to-back years.
