Boston College Football Caps Off Regular Season With Win Over Pitt
The Boston College Eagles (7-5, 4-4 ACC) football team ended its regular season with a 34-23 win over the Pittsburgh Panthers (7-5, 3-5 ACC) on Saturday evening at Alumni Stadium.
After turning the ball over on downs due to failing to convert on a 4th-and-1 on their first drive of the day, the Eagles struck first on their following possession with a 36-yard touchdown run by running back Jordan McDonald.
The special teams woes continued as a bad snap on the extra point attempt forced the unit to try a two-point conversion and failed.
The botched extra point proved to not be impactful as the Eagles extended their lead at the midway point of the second quarter with a two-yard touchdown run by running back Kye Robichaux to make it a two-score game.
Both teams exchanged scores on both sides of the ball down the stretch of the first half.
Pitt erased its goose egg late in the second with an 11-yard touchdown reception by tight end Gavin Bartholomew, his first of two scores on the day.
On their following drive, Panthers quarterback Nate Yarnell threw an interception that was picked off by Eagles defensive lineman Ty Clemons and returned for a 55-yard touchdown, the first pick six of his collegiate career.
Pitt refused to go down without a fight. The Panthers scored ten unanswered points on a 57-yard field goal by kicker Ben Sauls as time expired in the second quarter and a five-yard touchdown reception by Bartholomew in the third to cut into their deficit and get within three.
However, the Eagles scored a pair of touchdowns to seal the victory, a 28-yard catch by wide receiver Reed Harris in the third and a 15-yard reception by tight end Kamari Morales in the fourth.
The Panthers added a final score to the board with a 15-yard catch by wide receiver Konata Mumpfield with less than four minutes in the contest and did not convert on the two-point attempt.
Boston College wins seven regular season games for the first time since 2018. Now, the Eagles will wait to find out where they are going bowling. The NCAA Selection Show will be on Sunday, Dec. 8 at noon ET.

MBTA Green Line trains out from Kenmore to Boston College on B branch through April 30
The Green Line B branch trains will not run between Kenmore and Boston College through April 30, according to the MBTA.
The nine-day outage will allow T officials to work on several infrastructure improvements and maintenance, the installation of Green Line Train Protection System (GLTPS) infrastructure, replacement of 130-year-old wooden overhead catenary wire “trough” near the Green Line portals and more.
The MBTA announced free, accessible shuttle buses between the two stops, Kenmore and Boston College during the outage. The buses will not stop at Griggs Street, Allston Street, and Packard’s Corner due to “accessibility issues,” T officials said.
During the weekend of April 25 and 26, the outage will extend through Copley, and shuttle buses will skip Griggs Street, Allston Street, and Packard’s Corner during the same weekend.
Throughout the shutdown all Green Line frequency will be reduced between Copley and Government center.
The MBTA urged riders to use the Orange Line at Back Bay during the outage. The agency also noted riders can transfer to Copley from Back Bay, an approximately five-minute walk.
The route 57 bus will also be free from April 22 through 24 and April 27 through 30 for alternate service between Kenmore and Packard’s Corner, the MBTA stated. During the April 25 and 26 weekend, the T noted the bus will not be a good alternate with not Green Line service at Kenmore.
During the shutdown, riders taking shuttle buses should budget extra travel time, the T said.
“For example, a rider travelling to Park Street from Boston College should budget at least an additional 10 minutes of travel in additional to their regular commute,” the MBTA stated.
More information is available on-site through transit ambassadors and T staff, virtually through T-Alerts or following the MBTA on X @MBTA, or via the mbta.com/GreenLine.
