Boston College (BC) triumphs over Syracuse 17-10 in an ACC football match, marking their fifth-straight win and best start to a season since 2018. Liam Connor's 24-yard field goal and touchdowns by Thomas Castellanos and Andre Hines Jr. contribute to BC's victory. Syracuse, despite a touchdown run by CDRW and a fourth-quarter field goal, fails to secure the win, extending their losing streak to five games. BC's strong defense, including key plays by Cole Batson, holds off Syracuse, ensuring BC's win and bowl eligibility under coach Jeff Hafley.

End of 3Q. SU, 7 BC, 10 Syracuse inside Boston College's 20 yard line.

FUMBLE! Anwar Sparrow scoops up a mishandled snap by BC's QB Castellanos and Syracuse has the ball near midfield.
End of 1Q. SU, 7 BC, 3 As I mentioned in a previous post, this is SU's first first-quarter lead since Purdue. Still missing a first-drive TD this year (tonight's ended with an INT), but certainly a better end to the opening 15 minutes than the past four weeks.
After 1Q: Syracuse 7, Boston College 3
CDRW takes advantage of a clear lane up the middle and takes the ball in for a touchdown. This is the first first-quarter lead Syracuse has held since the Purdue game, when it led 7-0 at the end of the period. SU, 7 BC, 3 1Q | 0:33
LeQuint Allen pops off the biggest play Syracuse has had in weeks it feels like. Big rush puts SU inside Boston College's 30.
