Boston College Runs for 401 Yards and Buries Georgia Tech
Boston College ran the ball 401 yards worth and threw it for 101. That is the whole scouting report, and Georgia Tech had no answer. The Eagles won 49-27, and a game that was 13-12 for Georgia Tech at halftime became a rout in the second.
Georgia Tech started fast. Alberto Mendoza hit Kevin Roche Jr. from four yards out, Aidan Birr added a field goal, and it was 10-0 in the first quarter. Boston College answered with two touchdowns in the second (Mason McKenzie's 25-yard pass to Nedrick Boldin Jr. and Bo MacCormack III's seven-yard run), both with failed extra points, so the Eagles led 12-10 and the Yellow Jackets took it back 13-12 on a Birr field goal with 11 seconds left in the half. Three lead changes in all, and then no more.
The second half was 37-14 for Boston College. MacCormack scored again early in the third, McKenzie ran in from six yards, and by the fourth it was 28-13. Georgia Tech got within 28-20 on Justice Haynes' 15-yard run, then McKenzie scored again and Charlie Comella took an interception 47 yards back to the end zone to make it 42-20. Take away the pick-six and it is still a 15-point game. Nobody was coming back from this one. Dalen Penson's 30-yard touchdown catch and MacCormack's 19-yard run closed it out.
The yardage was 502 to 360 in the Eagles' favor, and Georgia Tech threw two interceptions against none. Boston College sacked the quarterback three times and lost no fumbles. The Eagles are 4-3, the Yellow Jackets 2-5.
Fantasy takeaway: McKenzie and MacCormack combined for 75.8 Promethium points, almost all of it on the ground.
