They won't be on their field at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, but some Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have their eyes glued to what's going on there for a good reason. They are alums of ACC schools, and the league's title game between Boston College and Virginia Tech kicks off at 1 p.m. Here's what some of the Bucs are saying about the game:
Derrick Brooks Florida State
I'm a little disappointed that the Florida teams aren't in it, but right now, I'd have to pick Boston College. They're going in with a little bit more momentum than Virginia Tech. And the fact that Virginia Tech beat them last year (in the title game) is a little bit more of a motivational factor.
Andrew Economos Georgia Tech
I know BC's defense has been playing real well and its quarterback is coming around. Virginia Tech is balancing their two quarterbacks. It's always hard to balance two quarterbacks. You can never count out (Tech coach Frank Beamer) and his special teams, but I'm going with BC.
Jeremy Trueblood Boston College
It's the second time around. You've got to right your wrongs. … I'm impressed with (BC's) offensive line compared to last year. That's my expertise. … And the defense is always good at Boston College. Virginia Tech's a good team, but I have to go with my allegiance to Boston College.
Chris Hovan Boston College
(Tech's Frank) Beamer really knows how to coach his boys up, and it seems like they always play each other around this time of the year. I'm going to bring my boy to the game, and I'm going to be a fan for a change. No hoopla, no nothing. I just want to watch some good football. I've never sat in the stands for a BC game, so this is going to be a first. It's going to be pretty cool.
