Eagles Grounded by No. 21 Bearcats in Birmingham Bowl

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Boston College football team wrapped up its 2019 season with a 38-6 loss to No. 21 Cincinnati in the Birmingham Bowl at Legion Field. The Eagles end the season 6-7 overall after reaching their fourth consecutive bowl game, while the Bearcats close out the season 11-3.

Lightning struck twice for a BC program that saw its 2018 bowl game cancelled due to lightning at the First Responder Bowl following a one-hour, 20-minute delay. History nearly repeated itself as the Birmingham Bowl went into a one-hour and 32-minute lightning delay with 7:55 on the clock in the first quarter.
