– This could’ve been such a special season if Jerod Evans had stuck around for another year, but the offense has to keep on rolling without the undrafted free agent/Philadelphia Eagle. Now – maybe – it’s up to 6-1, 211-pound Jackson to go from being a top-shelf dual-threat option to the main man who can pick up the slack after the Hokies lost the team’s leading rusher and playmaker. "Winsipedia - Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Boston College Eagles football series history".

The two teams have played annually since 1992, and the rivalry developed when the Hokies became a member of the Big East Conference for football in 1991. When the Atlantic Coast Conference expanded in 2004, both Miami and Virginia Tech became members of the ACC. Both teams continue to compete annually as part of the ACC's Coastal Division.
The Hokies have appeared in several Gator, Peach, Sugar, Belk, Military and Orange bowls. Their overall record in bowl games is 13–21 through the 2021 season. After the April 2007 Virginia Tech shootings that stunned the campus and nation, the remainder of Tech's spring practice was canceled.

The 2007 home opener against the East Carolina Pirates was the subject of College GameDay, and the Hokies prevailed in an emotional, albeit shaky, game 17–7.
Virginia Tech Hokies Schedule 2017
OG Wyatt Teller, Sr. – Yeah, it’s hardly fun when the left guard is probably the team’s best offensive player, but Teller is growing into an all-star talent and an interesting pro prospect. The two-year starter isn’t huge and is built more like a tackle at 6-5 and 308 pounds, but he’s a crusher. As long as he can harness his aggressive nature and turn it all from penalties into power, he’ll be the anchor for a great front five. Three starters are gone from a defensive front that helped generate 32 sacks and a whopping 113 tackles for loss. On the plus side, there’s size ready to literally fill in the gaps – now the front four needs more experience. The top two pass rushers are done, but the Hokie D is able to manufacture pressure from several spots – the production will still be there.
They then traveled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to play the LSU Tigers. In a game that saw Glennon replaced by true freshman quarterback Tyrod Taylor, the Hokies were completely dominated, only managing 149 total yards against the Tigers' 598.

Things did not start well for the Hokies as the Pirates took an early 7–0 and then 17–7 lead as the first quarter ended.

In addition, the Hokies also have the second highest consecutive bowl game streak appearances. Taylor continued to start until an injury removed him from a 43–14 blowout of Duke. In a Thursday night match-up with Boston College, Glennon reclaimed his starting position. In a game plagued by rain storms and wet conditions, the Hokies took a 10–0 lead late into the fourth quarter.
Fans, Alumni, and Blacksburg area are not able to profit at the level they can when Saturday games are held. A big-time program like the one we are trying to evolve and sustain can not afford under-attended home games and lower than normal revenue. No Thursday night games and 3 home games on Saturday beginning Sept 30 through October 28. FWIW, Tech last played Clemson in the regular season in 2012 (@Clemson), not 2011. The first ACC road trip of the season for the Hokies will be Oct. 7 at Boston College.
vs. Oklahoma State-Camping World Bowl
1999 seasonVirginia Tech's most successful football season was in 1999 under the guidance of redshirt freshman quarterback, Michael Vick. Among other amazing moments, on November 3, the Hokies came from behind on the road, to win against the West Virginia Mountaineers. Vick led a desperate last minute drive that culminated in a dramatic Shayne Graham game-winning field goal. The 22–20 victory has since become known as the "Miracle in Morgantown." The team completed the year with its first ever undefeated regular season, finishing with an (11–0) record.
The running backs weren’t used enough, but Travon McMillian leads a nice group that should do more to take the pressure off the quarterback – more on that in a moment – behind a fantastic line. The right side needs to be replaced, but Wyatt Teller and the left side should be great. For more information about TechSideline.com, please see our About page.

A battered metal lunch pail was chosen as a symbol of a no-name, blue-collar defense.
