The Boston College Eagles faced off against the Stanford Cardinal at Stanford Stadium, with both teams entering the game holding a 1-2 record.

Second Quarter


In the second quarter, BC's offense came alive with a strong performance from quarterback Dylan Lonergan. He threw for 333 yards and completed 68 percent of his passes. Turbo Richard contributed significantly with a receiving touchdown that covered 49 yards, showcasing his versatility as both a runner and receiver. Despite these efforts, BC's defense allowed Stanford to score 14 points in this period.


Third Quarter


The third quarter was marked by defensive challenges for BC as they failed to contain the Trees' offensive surge. Ty Clemons made an impact with one sack and one tackle for loss but it wasn't enough to stop Stanford from adding another touchdown to their tally.


Fourth Quarter


As the game progressed into its final stages, BC's offense struggled under pressure from Stanford’s defense. Although kicker Luca Lombardo successfully converted two field goals earlier in the game without missing any attempts, it was not enough to close the gap created by turnovers and penalties that plagued BC throughout.


The Boston College Eagles vs Stanford Cardinal match summary highlights how turnovers were pivotal in determining this game's outcome; two fumbles lost by key players like Dylan Lonergan proved costly against an opportunistic opponent like Stanford who capitalized on every mistake made during crucial moments of playtime leading up until full-time whistle blew signaling end result being recorded at "30-20".
