The Replay: Back In the Game With Win No. 1

The first quarter drew into its latter stages on Saturday night with Boston College unexpectedly finding itself in a dogfight against Maine. The FCS-level Black Bears played with their hair on fire, and after finding early success against the Eagles, BC decided to dial up an explosive play to halt the visitors' charge.

The call was to quarterback Phil Jurkovec and receiver Zay Flowers, and as Jurkovec dropped back in play action, the offensive line in front of him formed a nested cocoon. He stepped forward and planted his front foot, and he fired a downfield dart to Flowers, who had been blanketed in single coverage.
