The Eagles gained 289 yards in offense against Virginia Tech (6-3, 3-2 ACC), which entered the contest ranked third nationally at 248.8 yards allowed per game.

The Hokies rolled up 394 yards in offense over the final three quarters, but turned the ball over on downs, trailing, 27-20, one play before Williams' second touchdown.

After Williams gave Boston College the early lead, Trey Edmunds' 1-yard TD in the second quarter and Cody Journell's 56-yard field goal just before halftime gave Virginia Tech a 10-7 lead. The Eagles converted a pair of Virginia Tech turnovers into scores in the third quarter on a Nate Freese field goal following an interception by Manuel Asprilla and a 2-yard touchdown pass from Chase Rettig to Jake Sinkovec after a fumble recovery at the Hokies' 17-yard line.

The two teams traded field goals early in the fourth quarter to make it 20-20 when Thomas, who had hit Kalvin Cline for a 1-yard TD midway through the third quarter, was picked off again by Boston College's Kevin Pierre-Louis, who returned it for a 33-yard touchdown to put the Eagles ahead, 27-20. Trailing by two touchdowns, Thomas hit Edmunds for a 22-yard TD to make it 34-27, but Boston College ran out the clock after recovering a Thomas fumble at his own 24.
