Bordner, Kimble rock Minutemen
The Boston College Eagles run over the UMass Minutemen in Chestnut Hill as QB Josh Bordner and HB Tahj Kimble have their way. With the running attack gashing the Minutemen, the UMass defense continued to focus their efforts on stopping it, leaving big windows for Bordner to throw through. They were able to pick him off twice, but it wasn't enough.
The crushing blow was a 54-yard TD just 17 seconds before the end of the half for BC. UMass had forced a 4th down and put on a punt block formation. The Eagles caught them off guard with a fake punt, throwing a quick screen to the upback. With blockers in front of him, D'Metrius Williams had no shot of taking him down short of the goal line.
