There was little sleep for the BC football program following Saturday nights agonizing defeat in Death Valley. As he does every Sunday, coach Hafley met with the media to put the final touches on Clemson Week before the Eagles head into a bye week. At 4-1, things are about as good as BC fans and alumni could have hoped for through this first portion of the season, but it didn’t…

The storybook ending was already written, the Eagles just needed to execute for 11 more yards. Trailing by six with 49 seconds left and the ball at the Clemson 11-yard line, BC was finally going to beat a ranked team for the first time since 2018 and end the Tigers’ 31-game home winning streak. Then, the unthinkable happened. With the play clock winding down and deafening noise making things even…

If you’re a Boston College fan or just a fan of college football in general, it doesn’t get much better than Saturday night. The upstart, unranked, unbeaten Eagles against a .500, suddenly reeling, No. 25 Clemson team that has been the cream of the crop in the ACC for what feels like a decade.

Boston College: Putting a bow on Clemson

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…

The Tigers have won nine straight against the Eagles which is the longest in the series. Interestingly enough, the two programs actually play for a trophy. For the last 13 years, the two teams have played for the O’Rourke-McFadden…

Well, well, well, things have become awfully interesting the past 24 hours haven’t they? News broke Thursday night that Clemson quarterback and potentially the No. 1 pick in this year’s NFL Draft Trevor Lawrence had tested positive for Covid. This of course eliminates a huge piece of the puzzle for the Tigers as they get set to host the Eagles on Saturday. The line on this game opened at 32…
