Photo by Ryan M. Kelly/Getty Images CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — The 2020 Boston College football team deserved a better ending than the one it potentially had on Saturday night. The Eagles wrapped up an unimaginably difficult season with a 43-32 loss to Virginia despite backup quarterback Dennis Grosel tying Doug Flutie’s single-game program passing record with 520 yards. At first glance, BC’s final 6-5 record (5-5 ACC) is nothing to get…

Usually, we would wait and include some stuff from coach Hafley’s Sunday media availability later in the week. However, with the way the game went down and the impact of taking Clemson all the way to the final buzzer, we thought it would be worthwhile to give ourselves and the BC fan base some closure. Not to mention the fact that BC is not practicing on Election Day Tuesday, which…

Josh Morgan-USA TODAY Sports The stars were aligned for Boston College on Saturday, but Clemson had other ideas. The Eagles entered Death Valley on Halloween as 24 1/2 point underdogs despite Clemson missing a few key defensive players and some other guy named Trevor Lawrence due to a positive Covid-19 test that was made public on Thursday night. If Boston College was ever going to have a chance to upset…

CHESTNUT HILL — All week long, BC head coach Jeff Hafley preached trusting the process. After five turnovers in a loss to Virginia Tech last Saturday night, the Eagles returned home and put in a week of practice centered around basic fundamentals, holding on to the ball and tackling. The running game had also been awfully quiet. It arrived suddenly on Saturday, making quite a bit of noise to the…

Alumni Point of View: Former Boston College quarterbacks weigh in on Phil Jurkovec and direction of the program

Saturday night’s result against Virginia Tech aside, it’s pretty safe to say that Phil Jurkovec appears to be the next great quarterback in a long line of them over at The Heights. Flutie, Foley, St. Pierre, the Hasselbecks, Ryan, Jurkovec. The name just fits, doesn’t it? The game against the Hokies wasn’t pretty, but, entering the weekend “Thrill” Jurkovec has shown that he’s capable of some pretty eye-popping performances. What’s…

Through its first four games this season, Boston College took advantage of opportunities given to them by their opponents. For weeks now, head coach Jeff Hafley has talked about needing to eliminate self inflicted mistakes despite being able to win three of his first four games as a head coach.

If you still don’t believe that there is a change sweeping over the Boston College football program – the “Jeff Hafley effect” some may call it – then you haven’t been paying attention. Pittsburgh kicker Alex Kessman booted a 58-yard field goal with 40 seconds left to tie the game at 24 at Alumni Stadium on Saturday night. After BC kicker Aaron Boumerhi missed a 52-yarder at the end of…
