CHESTNUT HILL – It took until the week before Thanksgiving, but BC finally has its best game of the season. The Eagles dominated UNC from start to finish on a chilly Saturday afternoon at Alumni Stadium, blowing out the Tar Heels 41-21. With the win, BC is officially bowl-eligible at 6-5 with one game left at home against Pitt next week. The Eagles out-gained UNC 420-212 and held the ball……

Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: Pretty simple. Win and BC gets a bowl bid. Lose and the Eagles are in a must-win game at home next Saturday against a very good Pitt team. Do the Eagles have what it takes to get the job done on the first try with the most historic team in program history in the house? 1st Down: BC absolutely has to contain Omarion Hampton. You…

The Eagles lost to 14th-ranked SMU 38-28 in a game where BC had the ball and a chance to tie or take the lead with two minutes remaining. In the end, there are no moral victories and the Eagles are now 5-5 with two home games against North…

Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: After a wild week where BC’s face of the program Tommy Castellanos was benched and then decided to hop in the transfer portal, the Eagles have also had to get ready for a game against the top team in the ACC and No. 14 team in the country, SMU. 1st Down: Grayson James is now the leading man in Chestnut Hill. James immediately gives BC…

Who had this on the New England football bingo card for 2024? On3’s Pete Nakos reported (and I was able to confirm) that BC quarterback – well, former BC quarterback – Thomas Castellanos will be heading to the transfer portal when the window opens on December 9th. Just three days ago, Castellanos was the starting QB of an Eagles team looking to come out of the bye strong at home…

Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images CHESTNUT HILL – The Tommy Touchdowns Era may officially be over at Boston College. Castellanos was benched this past Saturday when he had just 14 yards through two-plus quarters with a turnover. On Sunday, Bill O’Brien officially told Castellanos and backup Grayson James – who started against Western Kentucky and won when Castellanos was injured – that he’ll be the starting QB when the Eagles face No….

CHESTNUT HILL – If you felt like BC’s football season needed a bit of a jolt following a three-game losing streak and rapidly declining expectations, Saturday was your day. Grayson James replaced Thomas Castellanos at quarterback in the third quarter after Castellanos had just 14 yards in the first half. Kye Robichaux and Jordan McDonald combined for 335 rushing yards and three touchdowns and the defense got pressure on Kyle…

Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: It’s another must-win game for the 4-4 Eagles hosting 6-2 Syracuse. BC has three games left after Saturday and two of them are against ranked teams in Pitt and SMU. The other is against UNC, which means that if BC is going to avoid complete disaster and make a bowl game this year, this matchup against the Orange is massive. 1st Down: Which TC do…

Starting in the 2025-2026 season, NCAA teams will be able to have up to 105 players on a roster, an increase from 85. This will also allow schools to offer up to 20 more scholarships. It sounds great on the surface, right? Well, maybe not. Boston College head coach Bill O’Brien had some pretty interesting thoughts about the rule during his weekly Tuesday press conference as the Eagles get ready…

CHESTNUT HILL – When Bill O’Brien was hired in February, this was supposed to be a new era of BC football. Instead, eight games in, it feels eerily similar to the last 15 years of mediocrity. On Friday night, the program had one of its most embarrassing losses in recent memory. The Eagles built leads of 20-0 in the first half and then 27-10 in the third quarter, only to…
