There are many, many moments you could choose from for Boston College where you could say “this is where BC lost the game.”
Some are more obvious than others. After going three and out on their opening drive, BC squandered an opportunity for 7 points after Clemson muffed the Eagles’ punt inside their own ten yard line with the familiar run-run-pass-kick sequence to get just the field goal.
On defense, the Eagles started out well enough, forcing the Tigers into a three and out of their own right after kickoff. But several huge plays for Clemson — Wayne Gallman’s 59 yard touchdown run, Deshaun Watson’s sick 50 yard pass to Mike Williams, and Jordan Leggett’s 56 yard catch and run all combined to cover the spread for the Tigers before the first quarter even ended.
