On Saturday afternoon, the Boston College Eagles hosted the UConn Huskies up in Chestnut Hill for the 16th all-time match-up for these two football programs. Connecticut earned their first ever win in the series last season, a 13-3 slugfest down in East Hartford, so BC was motivated to earn revenge this season. It was an ugly game at times, but Boston College trusted their rushing attack and eventually pulled out a gritty 21-14 win.
The beginning of the game almost immediately took a turn for the worse for Boston College, as QB Thomas Castellanos let the football slip out of his hands in the pocket and a UConn defender recovered the fumble near midfield.
