Since Virginia Tech joined the ACC in 2004, no team has handed the Hokies more losses (three) than Boston College. Tech (1-2) solved its offensive woes in a 49-27 romp over East Carolina. For BC (2-0), this is the first major test after wins over Weber State and Kent State. Tech will try to stop BC junior back Montel Harris (48 carries, 195 yards).

After a 31-17 loss at West Virginia, Maryland (2-1) looks to rebound vs. a team it has beaten twice in the last four years. FIU (0-2) of the Sun Belt hopes for a signature victory after playing Rutgers, 19-14, and Texas A&M, 27-20, tough. The Terps will start redshirt freshman OT Pete DeSouza for Justin Gilbert (torn ACL).
VMI at Virginia

When » Saturday, 1:30 p.m.
TV/Radio » ESPN3/570 AM
In their 82nd overall meeting, the teams renew an old rivalry, playing for the first time in 19 years. For Virginia (1-1), this should be little more than a formality as it preps for Florida State. FCS VMI (1-1) has not had a winning season since 1981. It’s last win over Virginia came in 1978. The Cavaliers lead the series 55-23-3.
Holy Cross at Georgetown
Where » Multi-Sport Field
When » Saturday, 2 p.m.
Coming off a heartbreaking 40-35 loss at Yale, in which it surrendered a quarterback sneak touchdown on the final play, GU (2-1) has much to prove in its home opener. Last year, while Holy Cross (1-2) won the Patriot League title, GU was winless. Holy Cross has won the last 10 meetings and leads the series 15-7.
