Boston College vs. Colgate: Live Updates

Boston College kicks off the 2021 season today against the Colgate Raiders at Alumni Stadium. This is the first game that Jeff Hafley has coached in front of fans in Chestnut Hill, meaning there should be a lot of excitement surrounding the team. The Eagles bring in an offense that should be filled with fire power, led by an offensive line that returns five starters, quarterback Phil Jurkovec and wide receiver Zay Flowers.

This is where you will get all the latest updates and analysis of the game. Throughout the game I will update this article to include any notes, injury updates and analysis of the game as it happens. I will also be in the comment section to talk about the game.

Pre- Game Updates:

* BC wins the toss and elects to receive.

* Two notable players that are out today: DE Marcus Valdez (hand), WR Jaelen Gill (foot). BC is pretty deep at wide receiver, and this will give a chance for Donovan Ezeiruaku to get some valuable reps today.

* Kam Arnold (Linebacker) is going to miss the first half of the game due to a targeting penalty from the Virginia game.
