Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley's career was only in its second game, but he knew exactly how his Eagles would win another game. They trailed, 21-7, to a determined, plucky, upset-minded Texas State team, and he hadn't lost a shred of hope. He kept his own faith and was well aware that BC could erase two touchdowns in an instant.
His team didn't let him down. The Eagles stormed back from down two touchdowns to score 17 unanswered points, and Hafley's charges remained undefeated with a 24-21 victory in the 2020 home opener at Alumni Stadium.
