Boston College RB Evan Dickens ran 15 times for 102 yards and a TD against Maine, including a 39-yard score. He has 205 rushing yards and three TDs through three 2026 games at 5.3 yards per carry; the preview's call for more touches against Virginia Tech is the writer's recommendation, not a confirmed workload.

Boston College LB Anthony Palano followed nine tackles, two interceptions and a sack against Rutgers with 12 tackles against Maine, bringing him to 34 tackles through three 2026 games.

Virginia Tech TE Luke Reynolds has 25 catches for 265 yards and four TDs through three 2026 games, including 12 for 107 and one TD at Maryland after eight for 108 and two TDs versus Old Dominion. This is early production, not a weather-dependent target plan against Boston College.

Virginia Tech has 14 sacks in three 2026 games. Aycen Stevens has 3.5; Cortez Harris, Mylachi Williams and Kaleb Spencer have three apiece, per the preview. This is current pressure production, not a promise of extra rushers or sacks against Boston College.
