WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. —- A night game on the road usually means the chance to watch some other action from around the country.
Of course, it helps if the games are good.
SEE RELATED:
From my hotel just a couple miles from BB&T Field, there are five games on in the early afternoon.
* Virginia Tech’s pummeling of Boston College
* Arkansas’ woodshedding of Auburn
* Penn State’s layup against Eastern Illinois
* The first Georgia-Tennessee game featuring two unranked teams since 1937
* The absolutely unlistenable and mostly uninteresting Purdue-Minnesota game.
So much for that plan.
In any case, the early afternoon ACC lesson is Virginia Tech’s defense just had a slightly off game last week, Boston College should be glad it plays in Chestnut Hill on Halloween given its Jekyll/Hyde-style home/road split.
Oh, and the ACC has got to be praying for any matchup other than Virginia Tech-Boston College in the conference title game. There’s no need to replay this one.
More to come from the Dash later in the afternoon.
