Pinstripe Bowl: Nebraska 20, Boston College 15 – Eagles’ late surge comes up short
BRONX, NY – 15 years and counting. The eight-win season drought for Boston College will last at least another year as the Eagles dropped a 20-15 game in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl on a raw Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. Missing some key pieces and playing with a makeshift offensive line, the Eagles’ offense struggled until late. BC did make things interesting in the final four minutes, but…

BC staff making noise in the transfer portal
Bill O’Brien’s first dip in the transfer portal as head coach at BC is off to a pretty damn good start.

Then, on Tuesday, the staff made its biggest splash yet. Alabama quarterback Dylan Lonergan – who had 22…
BC players weigh-in on Belichick joining the ACC
Image courtesy of BC Athletics While BC and North Carolina don’t technically play against each other again until 2028, this is going to be fun. Bill Belichick is of course joining the ACC as the new head coach at North Carolina, meaning Bill O’Brien is now back in indirect competition with his former boss and mentor. The prospect of the two of them squaring off in the ACC title game…

The Eagles officially announced 27 signings on National Signing Day Wednesday, with five of them coming from Massachusetts, more than any other state in this first class for O’Brien and his staff.

Boston College 4 down preview: Pitt Panthers (7-4) @ BC Eagles (6-5)
Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: It’s hard to believe, but Year 1 of the Bill O’Brien Era ends on Saturday. Well, the regular season at least. The Eagles have a chance to win 7 games for the first time since 2018 if Pitt goes down. No matter what happens on Saturday, I do think there’s been more positive developments than negative ones this season and fans should be encouraged knowing…
