Boston College lost 38-23 to UConn, extending their losing streak to six games. The defense allowed a career-high 362 passing yards and four touchdowns from UConn's quarterback, including explosive plays of 50, 43, and 38 yards.
Newly promoted starting quarterback Grayson James threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns but was sacked seven times. The offense showed flashes, including a 39-yard TD pass just before halftime, but could not sustain drives against a vulnerable UConn defense.
Jordan McDonald rushed for 123 yards on 24 carries, providing a reliable ground game. However, the team's inability to protect the quarterback and generate consistent explosive plays limited the overall offensive output.
At 1-6, Boston College is in danger of its worst season in nearly 50 years. The next game is at Louisville, a tough road matchup against a strong opponent, requiring significant improvement on both sides of the ball to compete.
