Boston College and Virginia Tech, two of the ACC’s most prolific rushing offenses, will square off on ESPN’s Thursday Night Football.
The Hokies have appeared on ESPN’s Thursday Night Football more than 30 times, six of which were against Boston College, but a lot has changed since the Hokies last faced the Eagles.
Thomas Castellanos has been at the helm of Boston College’s offense for most of the season. He has been a big rushing threat for the Eagles thus far, and was also their primary rusher during his time at UCF. Now, things have changed, but Castellanos only has 103 rushing yards, averages 1.9 yards per carry, and has seen far more dropbacks this year than last.
But he has the weapons, and Lewis Bonds is by far the best receiver in Boston College’s group. Castellanos also scatters the ball. Reed Harris, Treshaun Ward, Kamari Morales and Gerrand Bradley all scored two or more touchdowns.
Virginia Tech and Boston College have had two very different seasons, and despite having fewer wins than Boston College, Virginia Tech is listed as a 7-point favorite to win at DraftKings Sportsbook.
