Boston College and Syracuse were anything but equals when they met for the first time as conference foes in 1991. They had effectively swapped spots from the middle of the 80s when Doug Flutie won the Heisman Trophy, and they ended the decade by moving in different directions. The Orangemen were on the rise and finished the 1987 season as the No. 4 team in the nation after tying Pat Dye's Auburn Tigers, and Dick MacPherson's team followed it up with another 10-win year and a Hall of Fame Bowl win in 1988 to jumpstart a three-game bowl winning streak through 1990.
