Virginia Tech Player to Watch: CB Detrick Bonner

Last week Bonner came into the game after starter Jayron Hosley left the game due to a hamstring injury. Detrick responded with eight tackles and a pass breakup.

The wide receiver had a huge day against Clemson, catching seven passes for an average of 13.3 yards per catch. He would have had a 43-yard touchdown grab, but it was called back to a penalty. 

Key Matchup: QB Chase Rettig vs. the Virginia Tech defense  

The Boston College QB was hit and hit a lot in their last game against Clemson. If he is put under the same amount of pressure by the Virginia Tech defense, it will make for a long Saturday afternoon for the Boston College Eagles. 

Prediction: Virginia Tech 38 - Boston College 7
