Boston College Secures Bowl Eligibility with Commanding Win Over North Carolina

The Eagles dominated both offensively and defensively, marking a milestone in Bill O’Brien’s first season as head coach.

  • Boston College defeated North Carolina 41-21, improving to 6-5 and achieving bowl eligibility for the eighth time in nine seasons.
  • The Eagles' defense was a standout, recording seven sacks, three interceptions, and limiting UNC to 36 rushing yards on the day.
  • Quarterback Grayson James led the offense with 192 passing yards, one touchdown pass, and a rushing touchdown in his second start of the season.
  • Boston College's defensive front neutralized Omarion Hampton, the ACC’s leading rusher, holding him to just 53 yards on 11 carries.
