While Virginia Tech fans wonder who will start at quarterback for the Hokies on Thursday, Boston College Heisman candidate Matt Ryan aims for his 18th touchdown of the season. Working in his favor is the fact that he and 16 of his teammates are graduate students.
That's right, and 12 of them are starters. Half of Boston College's starting roster comply with NCAA rules by taking night classes. College football coaches are limited to 20 hours of practice and meeting time a week, but when half of your team has a free schedule every day of the week, voluntary workouts are easier for athletes to coordinate.
ESPN.com's Ivan Maisel has more on this topic at at his weekly column I-Formation.
Boston College and Virginia Tech are coming off of bye weeks, so both will be well-rested. The offensive (BC) vs. defensive (VT) matchup should provide for some big plays, and oh yea, there are also BCS implications. Enjoy the Atlantic Coast Conference showdown.

I'd have to think BC is gonna give to 'em hard core. Tech is always overrated, maybe BC isn't with all that experience. Have fun at the game though punk.
