The 1997 Syracuse Orange found a way to win when the offense wasn’t dominating. Syracuse was held to 20 points by the Boston College Eagles, but the Orange defense did the job in the second half to secure a 20-10 win.
BC got on the board first when Omari Walker cashed in a two-yard run after a Donovan McNabb fumble. The Orange responded with a one-yard Kyle McIntosh run and that was the score after one quarter. BC regained the lead on a field goal, but Syracuse was able to match on a Nate Trout kick right before the half.
