Boston College Eagles Game Notes
Boston College starting wide receiver Ryan O’Keefe will miss Saturday’s game and likely several more contests after that with a neck injury. O’Keefe is second on the Eagles in receptions (23) and receiving yards (235) in 5 games of action this season.
Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos had a big game running the ball in his team’s 27-24 win over Army on October 7th. In that game, Castellanos ran the ball 31 times for 142 yards and 4 touchdowns. Thomas Castellanos leads Boston College in carries (98), rushing yards (500), and rushing touchdowns (7) this season.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Game Notes
Georgia Tech wide receiver Chase Lane had been out with an undisclosed injury, but he’s probable for this weekend’s home clash with Boston College. Lane has 6 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown in 2 games for the Yellow Jackets this year.
Georgia Tech reserve running back Dontae Smith has missed the team’s last 4 games with an unspecified injury, and he’s listed as questionable for this weekend’s game. Smith has recorded 12 carries for 50 yards and 2 catches for 16 yards in 3 contests this year.
Georgia Tech offensive lineman Jordan Williams will be out Saturday with an undisclosed injury he suffered three weeks ago. Williams started all 12 of Georgia Tech’s games last season and was a key player along their offensive line this year before going down.

Boston College vs. Georgia Tech Betting Prediction
Georgia Tech is coming off an unbelievable come-from-behind win over Miami on the road two weeks ago. The Yellow Jackets would have lost if the Hurricanes had simply taken a knee, but they didn’t, and Georgia Tech wound up with a miracle victory. It’s going to be hard for the Yellow Jackets to get up for a lesser opponent like Boston College this weekend, despite the bye week they had on October 14th.
I really like Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos’ skill set. The 5’10” 196-pound Waycross, Georgia native has run for at least 49 yards in each of the 6 games he’s played in this year. What’s more, he’s been efficient with his rushing attempts as he’s averaging 5.1 yards per carry on the season. A running quarterback can provide an offense with a unique dimension, and that’s a facet of the game that I believe Georgia Tech will have trouble containing. I’ll take the Eagles and the points on the road this weekend.
