Team	SP/RL	TOTAL	ML

Boston College	+2½ (-105)	–	+120

The Hokies turned in a 6-7 record last season that also included a 4-4 run in ACC play. This was a bit of a letdown for Virginia Tech considering they had finished with a 9-4 record the previous season. Despite not having that great of a season, the Hokies were still invited to the Military Bowl. There they faced off against Cincinnati in a close 31-35 losing effort. Moving forward, Justin Fuente will return once again to lead this program as head coach. This will mark the 4^th season Fuente has been leading the Hokies out onto the field.

Players to Watch: Ryan Willis (2,716 passing yards, 24 TD, 9 INT), Steven Peoples (786 rushing yards, 6 TD, 5.0 AVG), and Damon Hazelton (802 receiving yards, 8 TD, 51 REC).

The Eagles tried to fly high last season but only made it to a 7-5 record and a 4-4 run in ACC Play. However, considering just how tough the ACC is, going 4-4 isn’t all that bad. The previous season Boston College finished with a 7-6 record so it’s looking like they’ve hit their plateau. Heading into 2019, Steve Addazio will return as Boston’s head coach, marking his 7^th season at the helm. With plenty of returning starters on both sides of the ball, the Eagles are excited about the upcoming action.

Players to Watch: Anthony Brown (2,121 passing yards, 20 TD, 9 INT), AJ Dillon (1,108 rushing yards, 10 TD, 4.9 AVG), and Kobay White (526 receiving yards, 3 TD, 33 REC).
