Report: Boston College to be without two key players vs Virginia Tech

Boston College got some bad news ahead of its game against Virginia Tech on Saturday. The Eagles are going to be down to important players for the game.

Offensive lineman Ozzy Trapilo and defensive end Shitta Sillah will miss the matchup with injuries, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Trapilo is an anchor of the offensive line while Sillah started five games for Boston College last season and made one tackle during last week’s season opener against Rutgers.

Virginia Tech is getting ready for its home opener after starting the season last week against Old Dominion on the road. It’s also the first home game of the Brent Pry Era in Blacksburg as he settles in as head coach.

Brent Pry provides an update on Connor Blumrick following apology for Old Dominion incident

Old Dominion pulled off an upset of Virginia Tech on Saturday, being one of the shock results of Week 1 in college football. Unfortunately, most of the talk has been about postgame incidents after Hokies’ tight end Connor Blumrick ran over a fan storming onto the field.

Head coach Brent Pry provided an update on Blumrick’s situation, saying there is no plan to suspend the tight end going forward. Blumrick “felt bad” about the incident and was the one who suggested he provide an apology the following day.

Virginia Tech is set to take on Boston College this week, getting ACC play started early in the season. Pry has decided to not take any further action and since an apology was issued, things will be back to normal for Blumrick.

Against Old Dominion, Blumrick was not able to make an impact, having two targets and no receptions on the afternoon. The senior tight end is considered a reserve player for the Hokies.
