Historic Fourth Quarter Comeback Successful on Family Weekend

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – found on an eight-yard touchdown strike with 3:33 to go, giving Boston College its first lead of the afternoon and sealing the biggest fourth quarter comeback in program history in the 21-20 win over Western Kentucky. Twice previously, the Eagles erased a 12-point deficit over the final 15 minutes of play - vs. Pittsburgh (Oct. 1, 1988) and at Holy Cross (Nov. 29, 1980).

The Eagles' Donovan Ezeiruaku - who finished with a career-best 14 tackles (10 solo) and three sacks - stripped the ball from WKU QB Caden Veltkamp at the Hilltoppers' 20-yard line with 6:23 to play, setting up the eventual go-ahead series.
