When Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan threw his second touchdown of the game with 11 seconds left in regulation, he gave the Eagles a 14-10 lead and left Lane Stadium silent. Hokie fans held their breath, waiting for a flag to be thrown. However, there was no holding this time, and Ryan's scrambling throw across his body was the final score.
The atmosphere at Lane Stadium was electric. The Hokies didn't accomplish much offensively, but their defense was stout for most of the game and provided reason to make noise. The capacity crowd of 66,233 did all it could to establish home field advantage throughout the game.
Boston College extended their record away from home to 21-8 since 2003, the fifth-best mark in that category, as pointed out in this article. The Eagles will likely remain the No. 2-ranked team in the BCS, but do they really deserve it after such a shaky performance?
