Monday--December 29th, 2014

If you missed it Boston College lost to Penn State by one point in the Pin Stripe Bowl.

The Eagles' loss shows how much the kicking game counts in football. Down three with a couple minutes left. Penn State calmly played for a field goal. Lou Groza Award finalist Sam Fricken absolutely  bisected the uprights from 42 yards out to send the game into overtime. The BC kicker shanked the first extra point of the overtime and Ficken hit Penn State's reply to win.

BC Interruption recaps.
