Opponent preview: What to know about Boston College

Syracuse returns to the Carrier Dome on Saturday to face Boston College after a trip to NC State. It’s the Orange’s third-to-last home game, and as Atlantic Coast Conference play winds down, SU remains on the NCAA Tournament bubble.

SU (11-6, 5-5 ACC) has won seven of its last eight matchups against the Eagles (3-12, 1-8), including six of its last seven in the Carrier Dome, and it will likely face a short-handed BC roster due to COVID-19 protocols.

Here’s what to know about the Eagles before Saturday’s game:
