Logan Thomas, Virginia Tech knock off Boston College in overtime

BOSTON -- Logan Thomas threw for two touchdowns -- the second a 7-yarder to Randall Dunn in overtime -- and ran for another score to help Virginia Tech keep its bowl hopes alive with a 30-23 comeback win over Boston College on Saturday. The Hokies (5-6, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) need to beat rival Virginia at home next Saturday to become bowl eligible for the 20th straight season. The Eagles (2-9, 1-6) look to avoid matching their worst record since 1989 next week at North Carolina State. The victory snapped Virginia Tech's seven-game losing streak away from Lane Stadium. It was the longest since nine straight in coach Frank Beamer's first two seasons -- 1987-88. Thomas completed 16-of-33 passes for 247 yards and added a 1-yard touchdown run. Cody Journell kicked three field goals for Virginia Tech.
