Obviously, we played poorly today. We had some opportunities early that we didn't capitalize on. We had to create momentum and that didn't happen. In all three phases, we had opportunities that we didn't do anything with. We got our butts whooped, and that is the tale of the day. We have to go back and take a look at the tape. We have to improve and get better. We have to teach our young guys how to handle this environment. Being in this kind of environment and what it takes to turn back that tide. We will go back and do that, and we will move forward.

The Boston College Eagles fell to the Virginia Tech Hokies 49-0 in front of a packed crowd at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va. Between men’s basketball and football, BC has now gone 557 days without winning an ACC game.

VT just recovered a fumble on a sweep play, but there's a flag on the field.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Oh no.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) September 17, 2016
The penalty is offensive holding, so the Hokies will take over at their own 42 yard line. Brutal turnover on a promising opening possession.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
The Hokies are on the board with a 15-yard TD pass from Evans to McMillian. 7-0 VT with 9:17 left in the first quarter#BCvsVT

14-0 VT, BC's offense is non existent and the defense is getting beaten. This could be a long afternoon

Addazio has yet to overcome a two TD deficit while at BC. But, hey, there's a first time for everything!
— Bill Maloney (@bcatleagle) September 17, 2016
at least we're not going to lose due to boneheaded coaching decisions this time
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) September 17, 2016
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
I feel like it's a distinctively BC thing to root for getting close enough to midfield that you can get a decent punt
— Grant Salzano (@Salzano14) September 17, 2016
Well BC is throwing the ball, it's just not going anywhere

Towles rolls out to his right and throws it three rows into the stands. BC will punt again.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Hey that guy in the second row made a great catch.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016

This almost feels like the BC/Wake basketball game last year. Everything seems broken.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
Towles' pass is tipped but still manages to find the intended receiver Charlie Callinan. First down for the Eagles at their own 40.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
WE DID A THING
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
Towles tries to go deep to Jeff Smith and is picked off by Adonis Alexander. Right when you thought BC had a TD drive in them...
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
I'm done

That half was a joke. I'd also say it's embarrassing but at this point I've lost my capacity for embarrassment with this team.

Addazio is the master of spinning stats to make them look positive. Will love to see how he can spin that half
— ERIC HOFFSES (@EAHoffses) September 17, 2016
If Addazio is going to take credit for the defense he needs to take public accountability for the offense as well
— ERIC HOFFSES (@EAHoffses) September 17, 2016
@EAHoffses He's going to be coaching some Connecticut High School team this time next year.
— Mike Loyko (@NEPD_Loyko) September 17, 2016
On 3rd and 6, Towles' pass goes straight through Michael Walker's hands. Not his finest outing.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Michael Walker you've got to catch that
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) September 17, 2016
15-yard penalty bring VT to BC's 19-yard line.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Hold that—another BC penalty. Offsides, 5 yards.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Evans keeps it for a 7-yard gain. The Hokies are wasting no time.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Evans has his fourth TD pass of the game, this time to Cunningham. It's turning into a bloodbath in Blacksburg, 28-0 VT leads.

— A.J. Black (@BCHysteria) September 17, 2016
Knoll's punt goes 31 yards and a penalty on the #BCEagles will start the Hokie drive at the BC 42 #BCvsVT
— BC Football (@BCFootball) September 17, 2016
How in the world do you get called for interference there. That is absolutely inexcusable.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
Take a look at the BC sideline. This team looks deflated.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Evans throws his fifth TD pass of the game to running back Sam Rogers. It's now 35-0 Virginia Tech. Make it stop.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
I'm done with this team. This is a joke.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
Starting at the 30 yard line, what will BC do on this drive?
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
Down 35-0, BC just rushed twice in a row for a loss.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
THAT PLAY HASNT WORKED ALL F****** DAY STOP CALLING IT DAZ
— A.J. Black (@BCHysteria) September 17, 2016
Should have made three and out an option...
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
Almost impossible to be as incompetent offensively as Boston College. Reflects poorly on every aspect of the program. Painful. Unacceptable.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) September 17, 2016
John Johnson picks off Evans' throw and returns it to Tech's 27-yard line. First good thing today for the Eagles.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
OH MY GOD AN INTERCEPTION. What will BC do on this drive
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
After starting with superb field position, BC just squandered its best chance of scoring by pushing themselves out of FG range.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
It looks like they'll go for it on 4th and 15.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Hahahaha false start
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Bc has almost 80 yards in penalties. Underrated problem today.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
It's now 4th and 20, and now Knoll will punt. That drive was actually impressively terrible.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
4th and 15 you go for it but not 4th and 20?
— ERIC HOFFSES (@EAHoffses) September 17, 2016
Great play call, punting from the 38....touchback....net gain of 15 yards
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) September 17, 2016
Still BC's best offensive play of the day. https://t.co/6nBhZaZ0qH
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
Why is Addazio punting? That's cowardly. Does he feel there is a difference between losing by 42 vs 35?
— Bill Maloney (@bcatleagle) September 17, 2016
Yes he does https://t.co/nYb6Otn8Pz
— ERIC HOFFSES (@EAHoffses) September 17, 2016
McMillian scampers seven yards into the end zone to push the Tech lead to 42-0. It's getting ugly, turn your heads, folks.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
I could have driven my mom's Volvo through that hole.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
Leave Addazio in Blacksburg
— A.J. Black (@BCHysteria) September 17, 2016
What can even be said at this point. Complete garbage.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) September 17, 2016
As terrible as last year was, our largest margin of defeat was 17 (to Clemson, who played in the national championship game). So, yeah.
— Adam M (@adamar108) September 17, 2016
Will BC score at all?
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
BC has hit more passes on tipped passes than any other pass

Remember when Boston College's athletic department wasn't a joke?
— Arthur Lane (@Art_Lane2) September 17, 2016
Towles has nine completions, and two of them were on tipped passes that should have been picked off.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
The backup QB Brenden Motley just ran for a 26-yard touchdown. 48-0 Virginia Tech. I'm at a loss for words.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
Darius Wade into the game for Towles at quarterback.
— Riley Overend (@RileyHeights) September 17, 2016
I know this is the second string, but would love for Wade to show something. Anything.
— Bill Maloney (@bcatleagle) September 17, 2016

This is an embarrassment. Every BC fan should be calling for people to be fired.

Hang in there, guys, it's almost over. Wade will get a second chance to lead the offense with 4:36 remaining in the game.

— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) September 17, 2016
Thirteen punts. A new school record!!!!!
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) September 17, 2016
Remember in 2015 when BC and Howard shortened quarters after halftime b/c the game was a joke? Va Tech s/ have offered BC same compromise.

FINAL: BC suffers second worst loss in program history to Virginia Tech, 49-0, in an embarrassing effort at Lane Stadium.
