In this story:

Yesterday, Boston College football head coach Bill O'Brien celebrated his 55th birthday in his inaugural year at the helm of the BC program.

O'Brien and the Eagles are 4-3 headed into Friday night's homecoming matchup with Louisville. The Cardinals had a cup of coffee inside the AP Top 25 earlier this season before dropping out following a trio of losses to Notre Dame, SMU and the latest to Miami.

Boston College enters the contest as a one touchdown underdog at home, which seems to be the general cosensus amongst college sports media as well. The Eagles will have a tough task ahead of them to remain bowl eligible and finish the 2024 College Football season how it began for BC.

Kickoff for Friday night is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Today’s Schedule:

  • Men's Tennis @ UNC Wilmington Invitational
  • Swimming @ Army
  • Women's Soccer @ Louisville

Eagles Results:

No athletic events took place on October 23.
