Bhayshul Tuten leads Virginia Tech in a Powerful Victory Over Boston College Eagles
In a display of dominance, the Virginia Tech Hokies crushed the Boston College Eagles, 42-21. Noting the Hokies' total yards, one has to admire their ground game, 366 rushing yards isn't a walk in the park folks. Those, plus their red zone efficiency, 80% to be exact, suggests the Hokies were drilling in their points effectively.
The Eagles, despite passing for more yards and having higher third down efficiency, were hampered by two fumbles. A nod goes out to Boston's quarterback, Thomas Castellanos who put on a valiant show tossing 205 yards with no interceptions, unlike his counterpart, Kyron Drones from the Hokies who threw one.
A laser-focused Bhayshul Tuten from Virginia was probably the difference between these two sides, rushing for an impressive 264 yards and scoring the most touchdowns at three. Can we say juggernaut?
Looking at the Scoring Summary, the Eagles scored all their points in the third quarter, hinting at a possible comeback but that was squashed in the fourth quarter by the Hokies' unstoppable rushing game.
Digging into the past matchups and recent results for both teams, this result is far from an upset. Hokies won by a wider margin last encounter and were the pre-game favorites at 7.5 points.
As for their battles next week, the Eagles are set to face off against the Louisville Cardinals at home, probably needing a win there to shake off this defeat. Hokies? They'll be defending their turf against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Moral of the story? Run, Eagles, run.
