On Saturday night, the Boston College Eagles hosted the Maine Black Bears in Alumni Stadium for a game that was expected to go hugely in favor of Boston College. Both football teams came into the contest at 0-2, looking for their first win of the 2022 season. Boston College defended their home turf and came out with the 38-17 victory over Maine. But an expected blowout turned into a showcase of struggle for BC.
The game started slow, with both teams needing to punt multiple times and struggling to move up field. But Maine capitalized on a shanked BC punt to score the first points to take a 3-0 lead, and BC quickly followed it up with a deep 51-yard bomb to Zay Flowers to make it 7-3.
