The Eagles open up their home schedule against the Holy Cross Crusaders in a renewal of an ancient New England rivalry.
After more than 11,000 miles and 15 games to start the season on the road, Boston College returns to the friendly confines of the Birdcage for the first time in 2016. Opposing them will be the Holy Cross Crusaders, a team that despite three wins on the season registered a victory against a national powerhouse when they beat the Long Beach State Dirtbags in their season-opening series.
In their return home, the Eagles are a very different team than when last met.
