Virginia Tech scored 49 in 2016 at Tech against BC, the most of any Hokie team in the se-ries.• The two teams met twice in the ACC Championship Game in 2007 and 2008. The Hokies won both title game matchups, including a 30-16 win in Jacksonville in 2007 followed by a 30-12 victory in Tam-pa in the 2008 ACC Championship.• One of the most memorable wins in BC history came on Oct. 25, 2007 as Matt Ryan led a fourth quarter comeback with 14 unanswered points as the third-ranked Eagles defeated the 11th-ranked Hokies 14-10 in Blacksburg.• Former BC All-America lineback-er Mark Herzlich totaled a season high 13 tackles against the Hokies in 2008 during the regular season. He also finished with seven tackles and two fumble recoveries against the Hokies in the 2008 ACC Cham-pionship game.

STEVE ADDAZIO WEEKLY NEWS CONFERENCE Steve Addazio’s weekly news conference is held at noon Monday of each game week at the Conte Forum Media Suite. Lunch is served immediately following the news conference. The transcript will be sent out and available on bceagles.com later in the day along with live video of the news conference on Twitter via @BCFootball and on Facebook Live via Boston College Athletics.

STUDENT-ATHLETE INTERVIEWS The first 20 minutes of practice on Tuesday and Wednesday is open to the me-dia. Student-athletes are made available for interviews following the conclusion of practice. The starting quarterback will speak after practice on Tuesday. An attempt is made for telephone interviews for media outside the Boston area if arranged in advance with the BC Communications office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

MEDIA CREDENTIALS All media credential requests must be submitted via www.sportssystems.com/bostoncollege. Credentials for Boston College home games are issued to working media only and should be requested as early as possible due to space limitations and de-mand. Media credentials which cannot be mailed will be left at Media Will Call (Media Entrance) at Gate C of Conte Forum. 1. The Athletics Communication Office will do its best to accommodate legiti-mate requests for game credentials. Criteria for media credentials vary, as they are dependent on the availability of media seating. Priority seating for any event is as follows: local beat media, opponent beat media, local media, opponent me-dia, national media, state/regional media, professional scouts, recognized Internet media and unaffiliated media. Those members of the media who are credentialed are asked to comply with guidelines set forth by the Football Writers Association of America. There is no cheering allowed in the press box, where there is also a no smoking policy in accordance with University regulations. Violators in both instanc-es will first receive a warning, and upon any repeat violation, will be asked to leave the press facilities. 2. When the press box is not expected to be at capacity, legitimate single-game credential requests will be granted. For those high-volume games, the criteria under No. 3 below are used in processing and approving credential requests. 3. Credentials for home and road football games for local media are dependent on its organization’s coverage of the BC football and athletic program (all sports). To qualify for passes, the team must be covered on a regular basis, and media person-nel need to make an effort to have a presence at press conferences and practices (when open). Newspapers must provide feature coverage; radio and television sta-tions must occasionally cover practice and attend the weekly luncheon (Mondays). Media credentials are issued solely to the person identified on it. It may not be

transferred or used by any other person. Acceptance of a media credential requires compliance with all Boston College rules and regulations applicable to the media credential. Any breach or failure to comply with these terms, conditions, rules and/or regulations may result in the cancellation and withdrawal of the media creden-tial, including but not limited to expulsion from the athletics event for which it was issued, and denial of a media credential for any and all future athletics events.

PARKING Media parking is located in the Commonwealth Avenue parking garage. Use the St. Ignatius Gate on lower campus at Campanella Way to access the Com-monwealth Avenue parking garage. You should request your parking at the same time you request your game credential. If time permits, both will be mailed to you.

ning five of its last seven games as the Eagles closed out a 7-6 season and 4-4 mark in the ACC. BC was one of 21 teams nationally - and just one of 13 teams from Power Five con-ferences - to win at least five of the final six games of the regular season. Only Clemson (6-0) and Boston College (5-1) won at least five of their last six in the regular season among ACC schools. Boston College had the seventh-most improved scor-ing offense among Power 5 teams nationally. The Eagles featured ACC Rookie of the Year AJ Dillon, the nation’s sec-ond-leading rusher among freshmen and the country’s No. 7 overall rusher with 1,589 yards and 14 touchdowns. BC tied a then school record with nine players earning All-ACC football honors in 2017. True freshman running back AJ Dillon was named first team All-ACC and tied with Lou-isville quarterback Lamar Jackson for most votes among the all-conference teams. Dillon was the first true freshman running back to be named first team All-ACC since T.A. Mc-Lendon of NC State in 2002. He was also the first BC true freshman to collect first team All-ACC accolades since line-backer Luke Kuechly in 2009. In addition to Dillon, junior free safety Lukas Denis and junior offensive tackle Chris Lindstrom earned second team All-ACC honors, senior defensive end Harold Landry, senior linebacker Ty Schwab, junior tight end Tommy Sweeney and junior specialist Michael Walker collected third team All-ACC accolades while junior defensive end Zach Allen and junior offensive guard Sam Schmal were name All-ACC honorable mention. Three Eagles earned All-America honors following the year, including Walter Camp All-America defensive back Lu-kas Denis and Freshmen All-Americans AJ Dillon and offen-sive lineman Ben Petrula. In the 2018 NFL Draft, three BC players were selected in defensive end Harold Landry (second round, Tennessee Titans), cornerback Isaac Yiadom (third round, Denver Broncos) and cornerback Kamrin Moore (sixth round, New Orleans Saints). It marked the fifth consecutive year under Addazio that at least two Eagles were selected in the NFL Draft. In all, 14 players who have played for Addazio at Bos-ton College have heard their names called at the NFL Draft. In 2016, Boston College ranked as one of the nation’s top defenses. The Eagles ranked on eight top-10 lists nationally, including ninth in total defense (314.2 yards/game), second in sacks (3.62 sacks/game) and 10th in turnovers gained (27). During the 2013 season, running back Andre Williams led the nation in rushing, earned the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s premier running back and took a trip to New York as one of six finalists for the Heisman Trophy. Williams, a consensus All-America selection, finished the season ranked fifth among all FBS running backs in the history of college football in single-season rushing yards with 2,177. Addazio’s coaching pedigree includes 18 postseason bowl games (including six BCS bowl games) and two na-tional titles while on the coaching staff at the University of Florida (a 41-14 win over Ohio State on Jan. 8, 2007 in Glen-dale, Ariz., and a 24-14 win over Oklahoma on Jan. 8, 2009 in Miami, Fla.).

Steve Addazio was named Boston College’s 35th head foot-ball coach in December of 2012 and wasted no time making his mark on the program. The Gregory P. Barber ‘69 and Family Head Football Coach, Addazio took over an Eagles pro-gram that had suffered back-to-back losing seasons for the first time in 14 years (including a 2-10 mark in 2012) and engi-neered a remarkable turnaround. In what were supposed to be rebuilding years, Addazio led the Eagles to back-to-back seven-win seasons and two consecutive bowl games. Addazio is the first coach in Boston College history to lead the Eagles to five bowls in the first six seasons as head coach after guiding BC to the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl in 2018. The 2018 regular season featured a return to the na-tional rankings for the first time since 2008 and the Eagles appeared in the College Football Playoff Top 25 for the first time in school history. Boston College appeared in the AP Top 25 poll four times in the 2018 season, the most appear-ances in the national rankings for BC since 2007. National excitement surrounding the Eagles was ram-pant in 2018 as a school-record 13 players garnered All-ACC honors and ESPN’s College GameDay built by the Home Depot returned to the Heights for the matchup between the #22 Ea-gles and #2 Clemson. Sophomore running back AJ Dillon collected All-ACC first-team honors for the second consecutive season while senior offensive guard Chris Lindstrom, graduate student tight end Tommy Sweeney and junior cornerback Hamp Cheevers all earned All-ACC first-team accolades for the first time. Senior defensive lineman Zach Allen and senior return specialist Michael Walker collected All-ACC second-team honors for the first time. Four Eagles were named to the All-ACC third-team for the first time in their respective careers as senior offensive tackle Aaron Monteiro, senior defensive end Wyatt Ray, grad-uate student linebacker Connor Strachan, senior defensive tackle Ray Smith and senior strong safety Will Harris were cited. The Eagles finished the regular season 7-5 overall and 4-4 in the ACC. For the second time in 16 years, BC finished the season with wins over Virginia Tech and Miami. Four players captured All-America honors (Hamp Cheevers, Chris Lindstrom, Michael Walker and Zach Allen) while BC tied a modern-day record with four players select-ed in the 2019 NFL Draft (Chris Lindstrom, Zach Allen, Will Harris, Tommy Sweeney). Lindstrom became the 20th first-round pick in school history going 14th overall to the Atlanta Falcons. Powered by the sixth-highest scoring offense in BC history (120 seasons) at 32.0 points per game in 2018, sophomore QB Anthony Brown’s 20 touchdowns were the second-most by any sophomore in BC history (Glenn Foley threw 21 TDs as a sophomore in 1991). BC opened the 2018 season scoring 40+ points in its first three games, the first time in 120 seasons of football at the Heights that the Eagles scored 40+ in the first three games. Boston College finished the 2017 regular season win-

Select Company• Anthony Brown threw for a career-high 304 yards and five touchdowns on 16-for-25 passing in the 41-34 win at Wake Forest on Sept. 13, 2018. The New Jer-sey native is one of two Boston College quarterbacks in school history to have thrown five or more touch-downs in a game without an interception. Doug Flutie threw for 354 yards and 6 TDs without a pick in 1984 at home vs. North Carolina. • Brown became the first BC quarterback to throw for over 300 yards and five TDs in a game since Matt Ryan vs. Wake Forest (9/1/07). It was the first 300-yard passing performance by an Eagle since Chase Rettig vs. Wake Forest (11/3/12).• Brown was sixth in BC single-season history with 20 touchdown passes in 2018. He was just the fifth play-

er in BC history to throw at least 20 touchdowns in a season.

What Can Brown Do for You?• Anthony Brown finished with the best single-game passer rating (245.9) by a BC QB dating back to the 1996 season with his performance against UMass in the season-opener in 2018. He finished 15-of-21 passing for 279 yards and four touch-downs. The yards and TD passes were then career-highs for the New Jersey native.• Brown finished with the second-best single-game passer rating in the 41-34 win at Wake Forest later in the season. Brown became the first BC quarterback to throw for over 300 yards and five TDs in a game at Wake Forest (9/13/18) since Matt Ryan vs. Wake Forest (9/1/07). It was the first 300-yard passing performance by an Eagle since Chase Rettig vs. Wake Forest (11/3/12).• Brown was named the ACC Quarterback of the Week for his performance in the win at Wake. In addition, he was one of eight quarterbacks nationally recognized by the Davey O’Brien Award and The Manning Award for his play in the win at Wake.• In 2017, Brown was named ACC Rookie of the Week for the first time in his career following the UVA victory and also was one of eight quarterbacks nationally recog-nized by The Manning Award as its “Stars of the Week.”• He was the first Boston College player with three passing touchdowns and zero interceptions in a conference game since Quinton Porter in 2003 in the 41-10 vic-tory at UVA.• It marked the third-best single-game passer rating by a BC quarterback since 1996 at the time. The performance now ranks fourth since 1996.• Brown was the second freshman in BC history to start a season opener under cen-ter in the Sept. 1, 2017 win at Northern Illinois. He is the only freshman quarterback in school history who started to win a season opener on the road.

Dillon Near the Top • AJ Dillon was 13th nationally averaging 110.8 rushing yards per game in 2018. Dillon played in 10 of BC’s 12 games, missing two due to an ankle injury.• Dillon was one of 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walk-er Award, given annually to the nation’s best running back.• The New London, Conn., native was also a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award.• Dillon became the first player in 120 seasons of Bos-ton College football to begin his career with back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Dillon went over the 1,000-yard mark on his four-yard touchdown run at Florida State in 2018.• Dillon is just the fourth player in BC history with two seasons of 1,000+ yards rushing. He joins Derrick Knight, Montel Harris and William Green with two years of 1,000 or more rushing yards.• Dillon passed L.V. Whitworth (2004-07) for ninth all-time in rushing at BC with 2,641 career yards after his 116 yards rushing at Florida State on Nov. 17.

100-yard Games Piling Up• AJ Dillon has just 17 career starts, but he has 12 ca-reer 100-yard games already at Boston College in 23 games played.• He is tied for seventh in BC history with 12 career 100-yard games.• BC is 9-3 when Dillon rushes for 100+ yards in a game.

Last Time vs. Virginia Tech (Nov. 3, 2018)• Travis Levy rushed for two touchdowns and compiled 103 all-purpose yards as No. 22 Boston College beat Virginia Tech, 31-21, at a sold-out Lane Stadium. • Levy rushed 11 times for a career-high 75 yards and

two touchdowns - the first two rushing scores of his collegiate career. The Olney, Md. native also hauled in three catches for 28 yards. • Anthony Brown was 15-for-26 for 177 yards and a TD pass. The sophomore signal caller connected with eight different receivers on the evening.• The win was the first by a ranked Boston College team in close to a decade. The last win as a ranked opponent was a 28-21 win over Maryland when the Eagles were ranked 20th on Nov. 29, 2008.• Boston College compiled 396 total yards. The Eagles were 7-0 when gaining at least 396 yards of offense.• BC gained just 20 yards of offense in the second quarter, but flipped the script in the third, holding Virginia Tech to 32 yards en route to taking the lead for good.• The Eagles moved to 9-18 all-time versus Virginia Tech - including a 6-10 mark in ACC play. BC is now 5-7 in games played at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg.

Scouting the Hokies• Virginia Tech was picked to finish third in the Atlan-tic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division, according to a poll of 173 media members who attended the 2019 ACC Kickoff in Charlotte.• The media awarded the Hokies 20 first-place votes in the Coastal. Clemson is the media’s preseason fa-vorite to claim the ACC title for the fifth consecutive year.• The Hokies embark on their fourth season under Justin Fuente who has compiled a 25-15 record in Blacksburg, the most wins by any Tech football coach in his first three campaigns. No other active ACC head coach can top Fuente’s 25 wins in his first three sea-sons at an ACC school. • The Hokies enter the 2019 season seeking to extend a streak of 26 straight bowl appearances – the lon-gest active streak in the nation and the third-longest streak in NCAA history.• Tech returns nine starters on the defensive side of the ball in 2019, a unit that was one of the youngest in the nation last season and the youngest in Bud Foster’s tenure as the Hokies’ defensive coordinator. • Offensively, the Hokies bring back four of their top five pass catchers in WR Damon Hazelton, TE Dalton Keene, WR Hezekiah Grimsley and WR Tré Turner.
