Virginia Tech rallied past Boston College 21-14 in a rain- and wind-lashed ACC opener, improving to 4-0 for its best start since 2017. After trailing 14-6 in the fourth quarter, the Hokies tied the game on Ethan Grunkemeyer’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Marlion Jackson and Jeffrey Overton Jr.’s two-point conversion. Overton then broke loose for a 76-yard touchdown with 4:58 remaining, sealing the win. Boston College quarterback Mason McKenzie ran for two touchdowns and 138 yards, but the Eagles could not respond late.
