Virginia Tech scores 35 straight points to win 48-22, snaps 5-game Boston College win streak

BOSTON -- , Virginia Tech coach Brent Pry came into the game against Boston College hoping to steal possessions from the Eagles. The Hokies did that on the very first play of the game. Virginia Tech cornerback Dorian Strong intercepted a long pass attempt on the first play from scrimmage, then picked off Thomas Castellanos again later in the first quarter, and the Hokies also pulled off a surprise onside kick on Saturday to beat BC 48-22. “That sets the tone,” Tech linebacker Jayden McDonald said. “Everybody is fired up and everything because of the momentum change. To come out in the first play and do that, that really set the tone for us.” Kyron Drones ran for 135 yards and threw for two touchdowns, and Bhayshul Tuten ran for three TDs for Virginia Tech, which bounced back from a 31-point loss at Louisville by scoring 35 unanswered points for its first road win of the season.
