Boston College Holds On, Beats Pitt in College Football Thriller

Boston College secured a hard-fought 27–21 victory over Pittsburgh in a back-and-forth ACC showdown, snapping a two-game losing streak and claiming their first conference win of the season. The Eagles’ late-game resilience was on full display, with Mason McKenzie delivering two rushing first downs—including a decisive final-play touchdown—to cap off a 17-for-28, 295-yard performance with two touchdown passes.

Despite both quarterbacks, McKenzie and Corey Dailey, throwing two interceptions apiece, Boston College’s defense sealed the win when Charlie Comella intercepted Dailey with under two minutes left, preserving the lead. Landon Wright led the receiving corps with 122 yards, while Evan Dickens added 57 on the ground, as the Eagles now turn their focus to next week’s trip to Georgia Tech.

The game was a tactical battle from start to finish, with both teams trading momentum swings and forcing turnovers. McKenzie’s clutch running and a pair of late defensive stands—including Comella’s game-saving interception—proved decisive in a contest that remained undecided until the final minutes.

Boston College’s offensive line and special teams also played key roles, helping sustain drives while limiting Pitt’s scoring opportunities in a low-margin affair.
