The Virginia Tech Hokies have a score to settle on Saturday when they take on the Boston College Eagles for the ACC Championship in Jacksonville.
The Hokies had their national championship hopes crushed by Boston College earlier this season when the Eagles upset Virginia Tech 14-10 as a 3-point underdog.
Virginia Tech controlled most of that game up until the fourth quarter when Boston College engineered a late comeback, scoring all of their points in the final frame.
Matt Ryan carried the Eagles while completing 25-of-52 passes for 285 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Ryan's biggest play of the game was a 24-yard touchdown pass to Andre Callender with 11 seconds remaining that clinched the victory for Boston College.
Junior QB Sean Glennon got the start for Virginia Tech and completed 15-of-25 passes for 149 yards with a touchdown.
The Hokies' offense may look a little different on Saturday with freshman QB Tyrod Taylor now healthy.Glennon and Taylor split the QB duties in Virginia Tech's 33-21 win over state rivals Virginia last week.
Glennon completed 13-of-19 passes for 260 yards with a touchdown, while Taylor completed 4-of-6 passes for 39 yards and also ran in for a pair of touchdowns.
Hokies' running back Branden Ore had his best game of the season in the win with 147 rushing yards on 31 carries.
The Eagles ended the regular season last week with a meaningless game versus Miami (FL). Boston College had already clinched the Atlantic Division, but still went on to defeat the Hurricanes 28-14 as a 14.5-point favorite.
Ryan completed 26-of-43 passes for 369 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions, while Callender rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.
In Saturday's rematch, the Hokies are a 4.5-point favorite.
