Georgia Tech 37, Boston College 17: Quarterbacks Tevin Washington and Vad Lee combined for four touchdowns, three of them on the ground, as the host Yellow Jackets overwhelmed the struggling Eagles.
Washington and Lee rushed for a combined 125 yards and Zach Laskey ran for 101 as Georgia Tech (3-4, 2-3 ACC) outgained Boston College by a whopping 391-32 margin on the ground in snapping a three-game losing streak.
Chase Rettig threw for 264 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Eagles (1-6, 0-4), the last of which pulled his team within 31-17 with 13:02 to go.
Washington had TD runs of 12 yards and one yard to give Georgia Tech a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter. Lee capped a 10-play drive with a 24-yard scoring run to make it 21-3 with 3:33 left in the first half and then found Anthony Autry for a 45-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the Yellow Jackets' next possession.
Rettig tried to rally the Eagles, who have lost five in a row for the second time in three years. He hit Alex Amidon for a 40-yard score near the end of the third and Chris Pantale for a 12-yard TD early in the fourth to make it a 14-point game. Georgia Tech sealed the win with a 15-play drive that lasted over eight minutes and was capped by David Sims' 7-yard touchdown run.
