Virginia Tech Defense Stifles Boston College in Shutout Win

Filed under: Boston College, Virginia Tech, ACCBOSTON -- The news, delivered to the Virginia Tech defensive players by the media after the game here Saturday, was just icing on the cake.

The Hokies had handed Boston College its first shutout loss in 12 years. In 149 games. Since Virginia Tech came in here and did the same thing way back in 1998, when these Tech players were in grade school.

"Wow. Really?" linebacker Bruce Taylor said after the Hokies beat the Eagles, 19-0, in the ACC opener for both teams. "That's awesome. That's huge."

Told Tech was the last team to blank BC, when the schools were both in the Big East, Taylor laughed, saying, "That's great. That makes it even better."

Said cornerback Jayron Hosley, whose first-half interception in the end zone (coming off his one-game suspension for violation of a team rule) ended one of BC's two big scoring chances in the game: "I'm proud of our D, man."
