Stats & Storylines: DJ finds his groove, defense wakes up and locks down

With DT Tyler Davis, LB Mike Jones, and LB James Skalski out with injuries, and QB Trevor Lawrence out with COVID-19, we knew the Tigers would need a gutty performance to beat Boston College. Led by new coach Jeff Hafley and Notre Dame-transfer QB Phil Jurkovec, the Eagles have moved from their old-school, run-heavy offense and instead sling it all over the field. In the first half, it was working like a charm.

Already leading 21-10, Boston College lined up for a field goal, but then the holder ran under center and drew Nyles Pinckney (and several other linemen) offsides.
