CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Boston College battled wire-to-wire before dropping its first game of the 2020 season, 26-22, to #11 North Carolina at Alumni Stadium.
The Eagles engineered a touchdown on their final drive of the fourth quarter, going 69 yards in 15 plays over 5:01 - capped by a seven-yard touchdown reception by CJ Lewis. But on the attempt to tie it, Carolina intercepted the Phil Jurkovec pass and returned it for the two-point score.
Jurkovec finished the game 37-of-56, for 313 yards and two touchdown passes. The 37 completions were the most by a BC signal caller at home since at least 1996 and the most overall since Nov.
