It was just one of those days for the Central Michigan Chippewas (2-3, 0-1 MAC) as they ran into the defensive buzzsaw that is the Boston College Eagles (2-3, 0-2 ACC) on the road Saturday night.
Both teams came in on two-game losing streaks and were looking to reverse course with a momentum-boosting win going into their full conference schedules. IN their previous matchup, BC managed to hold a lead vs. defending national champion Clemson before fading late in the fourth quarter. CMU, meanwhile, got buried early against the Miami RedHawks at home.
A win here would surely shore up bowl hopes for both sides, as each team is in a hypercompetitive division within their conference.
