Boston College Football vs No. 14 Georgia Tech: Live Updates

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — It is officially that time of the year for the Boston College football team to wrap up its 2025 home-game slate, as No. 14 Georgia Tech makes a trek up north to visit the Eagles. Kickoff for Saturday’s matchup is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. and the game will be televised on ACC Network.

Nobody could have fully predicted the way this season has gone for BC (1-9, 0-6 ACC).

In his first year at the helm, Bill O’Brien led the Eagles to seven wins in the regular season for the first time since 2018 before losing to Nebraska in the 2024 Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl to finish 7-6. This year has gone completely wayward for the program, which has not defeated an FBS opponent yet.

The Yellow Jackets (8-1, 5-1 ACC), led by third-year head coach Brent Key, come to the Heights this weekend atop the ACC standings with a legitimate shot to reach the 2026 College Football Playoff.

Tech quarterback Haynes King is one of the most versatile players in the country and is a fringe Heisman-Trophy candidate.

BC’s defense, which has surrendered 4,317 total yards this season—the fourth-most yards allowed by any team in the nation—will have to devise unique methods to stop King, who can beat defenses through the air and on the ground with superior command.

In the Eagles' past three games, the quarterback room has not been steady, to say the least, as redshirt senior Grayson James and redshirt sophomore Dylan Lonergan have taken turns rotating into games.

This game marks the third week in a row that O'Brien has decided to change his starting quarterback, naming Lonergan the starter on Thursday—James was named BC's starter in its loss to SMU last week, and Lonergan was named the starter against Notre Dame two weeks prior.

FINAL: Georgia Tech 36, Boston College 34. Dylan Lonergan's Hail-Mary attempt from the Yellow Jackets' 46-yard line with three seconds remaining was broken up by Clayton Powell-Lee.

FIELD GOAL, Georgia Tech - Aidan Birr drills a 23-yard field goal to insert the Yellow Jackets back into the lead. Georgia Tech 36, Boston College 34 [0:11].

TOUCHDOWN, Boston College - The Eagles responded instantly thanks to Dylan Lonergan's 30-yard completion to Jeremiah Franklin on 3rd-and-19 from the BC 16-yard line, which sustained the drive. Turbo Richard then rumbled for his second touchdown run of the day from 43 yards out, but Lonergan's two-point pass attempt to Kaelan Chudzinski was out of bonds. Boston College 34, Georgia Tech 33 [4:09].

TOUCHDOWN, Georgia Tech - Following an Eagles' three-and-out, Jordan Allen broke a pair of tackles and took off for a 54-yard touchdown run on the Yellow Jackets' first play of its ensuing drive. Aidan Birr successfully converted the PAT. Georgia Tech 33, Boston College 28 [6:14].

TOUCHDOWN, Georgia Tech - Jamal Haynes skipped into the endzone for a two-yard rushing score two plays after Haynes King completed a 35-yard pass to Eric Rivers down the sideline over BC defensive back Max Tucker. But the Yellow Jackets' two-point attempt failed, as King was tackled before reaching the endzone on a designed run. Boston College 28, Georgia Tech 26 [7:33].

The Eagles have been unable to prevent Georgia Tech on third down—Tech is 6-for-10 on third downs in the game overall.

BC needed to punt after Dylan Lonergan's incompletion on 3rd-and-9 from the Eagles' 38-yard line. Shamus Florio's ensuing punt sent the ball to the Yellow Jackets' 22-yard line with 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

FIELD GOAL, Georgia Tech - Haynes King's pass attempt on 3rd-and-8 from the Eagles' 9-yard line sailed out of bounds, and Brent Key sent out the field-goal unit. Aidan Birr nailed his second field goal of the game from 26 yards to decrease the Jackets' deficit to eight. Boston College 28, Georgia Tech 20 [13:52].

Third quarter:

End of Q3: Boston College 28, Georgia Tech 17. After a first-down completion for Haynes King, BC head coach Bill O'Brien lost his cool, throwing his headset onto the ground. He received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, enforced 15 yards from the end of the play to set up a first down for the Yellow Jackets on the BC 29-yard line.

TOUCHDOWN, Boston College - Reed Harris hauls in Dylan Lonergan's second touchdown pass of the game for an 18-yard score to increase the Eagles' lead to 11 points with just a minute and change remaining in the quarter. On the drive, Lewis Bond broke the single-season receptions record with his sixth catch of the game, and his 79th on the season. Boston College 28, Georgia Tech 17 [1:19].

FIELD GOAL, Georgia Tech - After an awful drop by Jamal Haynes on 3rd-and-4 from the BC 17-yard line, Aidan Birr was sent onto the field to kick a 34-yarder, and he made it. The drive lasted 14 plays, 55 yards and took 7:23 off the clock. BC still holds onto a four-point lead. Boston College 21, Georgia Tech 17 [4:35].

TOUCHDOWN, Boston College - Jordan McDonald scrambles into the endzone for a 14-yard rushing score to advance the Eagles into the lead by seven points after Luca Lombardo's successful PAT kick.

The Eagles' touchback on the opening kickoff of the second half sets up their first drive of the third quarter on the 25-yard line.

Second quarter:

End of Q2: Boston College 14, Georgia Tech 14. Georgia Tech marched into field-goal territory after an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on BC during the PAT backed up the kickoff, but Aidan Birr's 49-yard attempt with three seconds left in the first half failed to keep the score even.

TOUCHDOWN, Boston College - Dylan Lonergan tosses his first touchdown pass of the game with a three-yard dish to freshman tight end Kaelan Chudzinski, and Luca Lombardo drilled the extra-point kick. Lonergan is up to 191 yards passing and a touchdown on a 66.7 percent completion rate (14-for-21). Boston College 14, Georgia Tech 14 [0:22].

Lewis Bond picks up a 13-yard reception on second down to break Zay Flowers' program record of 200 receptions. Bond now has 201 receptions and counting.

Haynes King's pass attempt on 4th-and-8 just after the two-minute timeout from the Yellow Jackets' 47-yard line is incomplete. The Eagles will start what will likely be the final offensive drive of the half on their 7-yard line after another impressive punt (46 yards) by Marshall Nichols.

BC's Dawson Pough is penalized for illegal touching on Dylan Lonergan's 12-yard, first-down completion to Kaelan Chudzinski, which results in a 4th-and-11 from the Yellow Jackets' 36. The Eagles were forced to punt, and Shamus Florio sent the ball all the way down to Tech's 6-yard line.

TOUCHDOWN, Georgia Tech - Malik Rutherford's screen pass in the backfield results in an explosive, 71-yard touchdown reception due to Owen McGowan's missed tackle, which would have resulted in a tackle for loss if he had wrapped up Rutherford correctly. Aidan Birr's extra-point attempt was successful. Georgia Tech 14, Boston College 7 [9:44].

BC got nothing out of the turnover, going three-and-out even though it faced a 4th-and-1 on its 35-yard line, which Bill O'Brien did not go for. Georgia Tech regains possession at its 16-yard line with 11:42 left in the quarter.

Bryce Steele recovers a Trelain Maddox fumble, forced by Omar Thornton, immediately after Eric Rivers caught a 48-yard pass to advance the Yellow Jackets into BC's half of the field.

Kemori Dixon was shaken up on the ensuing kickoff and was ushered off the field by trainers. His status is now in question. Dixon registered a sack in the first quarter—the first of his collegiate career.

TOUCHDOWN, Boston College - Turbo Richard handled it all by himself, pounding his body into the endzone for a one-yard rushing touchdown on 4th-and-goal from the Yellow Jackets' 1-yard line. The scoring drive lasted 11 plays, 75 yards and took 5:40 off the clock. Boston College 7, Georgia Tech 7 [14:19].

First quarter:

End of Q1: Georgia Tech 7, Boston College 0. Turbo Richard's 42-yard rumble brought the Eagles into the redzone. BC faces a 3rd-and-goal on the Yellow Jackets' 3-yard line to start the second quarter.

TOUCHDOWN, Georgia Tech - Junior running back Malachi Hosley splits the Eagles' defense and sprints up the middle of the field for a 27-yard rushing touchdown, the Yellow Jackets' first of the game. Aidan Birr knocked in the extra-point kick. Georgia Tech 7, Boston College 0 [4:59].

On 3rd-and-8 from the Eagles' 3-yard line, Dylan Lonergan connected with sophomore wideout Reed Harris over the middle of the field for a 57-yard pickup. BC was later forced to punt during the drive, and the Yellow Jackets will take over at their 17-yard line with 8:35 left in the quarter, but Lonergan did his job of moving the Eagles out of danger territory.

Kemori Dixon's first career sack and Isaiah Farris' PBU prevented Georgia Tech from scoring any points on its first offensive possession. Tech's Marshall Nichols punted the ball all the way down to the BC 1-yard line.

The Yellow Jackets start their first offensive drive on their 31-yard line following an impressive return by Shane Marshall, who stayed on his feet after first contact and kept running.

Pregame:
