On Saturday afternoon, the Boston College Eagles traveled over to West Point to face the Army Black Knights for the 39th time in their history. BC football came into this game off of a comeback win against Virginia, their largest second half comeback since the 1990s. Army had a bye week previously, but had just lost to fellow ACC team Syracuse. It was a rainy afternoon in upstate New York and Boston College took full advantage, running down Army’s throat all day to eventually secure a close 27-24 victory.
After the first couple of possessions were fruitless for each team, BC got going on their second drive of the game.
