Ouch! One-point loss in bowl game

Posted on by

Despite a possible record number of San Diego Eagles (50+) gathered at the Beer Company cheering them on, the Eagles lost to Penn State 31-30 in the Pinstripe Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 27.

Leading 21-7 as the third quarter was coming to an end, BC scored only three more points in regulation and allowed Penn State to score 17 to force overtime. The Eagles scored a touchdown in overtime, but missed the extra point. (This was BC’s 7th missed PAT of the season, an unusually high number. Freshman Mike Knoll had missed only one PAT previously this year, going 13 of 14 before the final miss.) Penn State then scored a touchdown and extra point to take the win.

BC finished 7-6 for the year, 4-4 in the ACC, records identical to the 2013 season.

Next game watch for Eagles fans is the 2015 Beanpot. Opening round is Monday, February 2, at 5 pm PT, against Northeastern. BC hockey was a below-average 9-7-1 as of the end of the calendar year, but will certainly want to extend their current streak of four Beanpot championships. Go for five, Eagles!

Because it’s what we do, here are highlights of the bowl game.

 

Waitin’ on a bowl

The Eagles finished their 2014 regular season with a 28-7 win over Syracuse on Saturday, November 29. It was a nice post-Thanksgiving treat. Now BC waits to learn what bowl game awaits them and Eagles fans.

While quarterback Tyler Murphy ran for a below-average 20 yards in the game, it was enough to give him 1,079 yards for the season and, thereby, the ACC record for rushing by a quarterback in a season. Murphy had already exceeded the record for career rushing by a BC quarterback, held by Doug Flutie ’84.

Flutie, then-Coach Jack Bicknell, and other members of the 1984 staff and team were honored at the Syracuse game in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the team’s success, including the iconic pass thrown by Flutie to win the Miami game and his winning the Heisman Trophy that year.

Here are video highlights from the game and post-game statements from Coach Addazio and Tyler Murphy.
