BC runs past Temple 45-35; Dillon hurt

BOSTON -- Boston College quarterback Anthony Brown caught a touchdown that completely fooled Temple on a trick play and then was surprised himself when his mom was on the field singing `God Bless America.'

Brown also threw for two touchdowns, AJ Dillon rushed for 161 yards and two scores before leaving with an apparent ankle injury and the Eagles held off the Owls 45-35 on Saturday in a chippy game that saw three players ejected for targeting.

Midway into the third quarter, Brown caught his TD -- a 9-yarder from QB-turned-receiver Jeff Smith -- to make it 38-21.
