In a game played amidst a nor'easter storm, Virginia Tech managed to secure a 21-14 victory over Boston College at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The weather, characterized by heavy rain and wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour, added an extra challenge to the match. Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin had referred to the game as the "Tsunami Bowl," emphasizing that both teams had to contend with the same difficult conditions.

Despite the challenging environment, Virginia Tech managed to score the only points of the first half with a field goal attempt by kicker John Love. They followed up with another field goal in the third quarter, but Boston College managed to take the lead with a touchdown scored by quarterback Mason McKenzie. The Eagles' lead grew to 14-6 in the fourth quarter, but Virginia Tech managed to level the score with a touchdown pass from Ethan Grunkemeyer to Marlion Jackson, including a successful two-point conversion.

The decisive moment came when Virginia Tech's Jeffrey Overton Jr. broke free for a 76-yard touchdown run, leading the Hokies to a 21-14 win. The game's weather not only impacted the players' performance but also resulted in a sparse crowd, with only a handful of fans braving the elements to support their respective teams.
