Boston College Football vs. Georgia Tech: Game Time, How to Watch, Previews and More

RISE AND #SOAR Boston College fans! The Eagles are in Dublin and set to kick off their season today against Georgia Tech.

Let's get to the details.

Tickets: Despite a pretty hearty contingent heading out from both BC and Georgia Tech, there appear to be a decent amount of tickets still available on Ticketmaster, in case you happen to be in Ireland or have the means to drop everything and get on a plane in the next... er, OK, this will be publishing just a few hours before the game, so yeah, probably not.

Gameday storyline: Nobody really knows what to expect as BC and Georgia Tech hit the field for the first time this season. Can the Eagles improve on their abysmal offense last season? Will they still have an outstanding defense? And can BC stop Georgia Tech's tricky option offense? Last but not least, how will the teams adapt to traveling thousands of miles from home for their season opener?

BC and GT haven't met since 2012, adding to the intrigue. In 2012, the Jackets topped BC 37-17 in Atlanta.

We'll begin to learn a lot more bright and early as the season kicks off!
