First Quarter


The opening quarter saw both teams testing each other's defenses. The Tigers managed to secure an early lead with 10 points, while BC responded with a field goal by kicker Luca Lombardo from 45 yards out. Despite this effort, BC's offense struggled to gain momentum against Clemson's defense.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Clemson's offense surged ahead with an impressive display that added another 24 points to their tally. The Eagles managed to find some rhythm as Turbo Richard scored their only touchdown of the game on a short run. However, turnovers and missed opportunities plagued BC’s efforts throughout this period.


Third Quarter


Both teams tightened their defenses in the third quarter as neither side was able to score any points. Quintayvious Hutchins stood out for BC with his defensive prowess by recording one sack and contributing significantly in tackles for loss situations.


Fourth Quarter


Clemson sealed their victory in the fourth quarter by adding another touchdown to bring their total score to 41 points. Meanwhile, BC’s defense continued its valiant effort; KP Price and Max Tucker each secured interceptions that momentarily halted Clemson’s advances but were not enough to turn around BC's fortunes.


Despite facing formidable opposition from Clemson’s offensive unit throughout all four quarters of playtime at Alumni Stadium (Chestnut Hill), Boston College showcased moments of resilience particularly within its defensive lineup which will be crucial moving forward into future matchups such as next week's home game against UConn Huskies scheduled on October 18th at noon EDT broadcasted live via ACC Network from Chestnut Hill MA where fans can catch all action unfold firsthand or tune-in remotely online!
