In a month defined by frights, ghosts and goblins, Saturday delivered a scene eerily reminiscent of the 2014 Pinstripe Bowl, a game recalled as the Nightmare in New York.
Boston College led that game, 24-21, before Penn State's Sam Ficken kicked a 45-yard field goal to send it to overtime. In the first session, a potential protracted, long night sailed wide right after BC scored first, and the Eagles lost when the Nittany Lions scored on their first possession and kicked a PAT to win, 31-30.
That memory sailed back to Chestnut Hill on Saturday when Pittsburgh's Alex Kessman boomed a 58-yard field goal to send BC's game against the Panthers into overtime.
