No. 16 Virginia Tech beats Boston College 23-10

BOSTON -- It might have looked easy for three quarters or so. For Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente, though, it was enough to give him indigestion. "Where we're at as a team is, it's going to be a three-and-a-half hour stomach ache," he said after the 16th-ranked Hokies bounced back from a loss to defending national champion Clemson by beating Boston College 23-10 on Saturday night. "That's where we're at, and just how it's going to be." One week after a loss to No. 2 Clemson, the Hokies (5-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) opened a 23-3 lead and coasted before BC made a tepid fourth-quarter rally. Josh Jackson threw for 322 yards and a touchdown, finding Sean Savoy nine times for 139 yards, including a 53-yard catch-and-run on a slant pattern in the first quarter. In all, six different receivers caught passes to make up for a first-quarter injury to No. 1 receiver Cam Phillips .
