I don’t want to go into too much detail and ruin our wonderfully crafted stories in tomorrow’s paper, but I will say I’m impressed with the way Tech’s defense clamped down in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter. By the way, the Hokies haven’t allowed a point in the fourth quarter since they’re meltdown against Boston College in October.
This will all be sorted out tomorrow, but here’s what you can probably expect out of the bowls for the ACC:
Orange: Virginia Tech, obviously. I think everyone involved would like to see a rematch with Georgia.
Chick-fil-A: Clemson. The Tigers are too close and draw too many fans for Atlanta not to invite them.
Gator: Virginia. Jacksonville doesn’t want BC back after having it there this weekend. The ‘Hoos are the only other choice. Texas Tech is a possible opponent in what could be a very entertaining game.
Champs Sports: Boston College. The Eagles only sold 3,500 of their allotted tickets to Saturday’s game, upholding their reputation as a school that won’t travel. This is the price they pay.
