Boston College had three opportunities to execute a come form behind drive which included one that started at its own 47-yard line after an interception by defensive back KP Price, but couldn’t put a drive together.
On 4th-and-10 with six seconds remaining in the game, the Eagles attempted a Hail Mary, but Castellanos’ throw went into the back of the end zone as time expired to seal the game for the Cardinals.
The sole score from the Eagles in the second half was a six-yard touchdown reception by tight end Jeremiah Franklin in the third.
