About our Boston College Eagles Football news
Latest news on Boston College Eagles Football, covering ACC games, recruiting updates, and everything related to BC football at Alumni Stadium.
The Boston College Eagles compete in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Based at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, the programme has accumulated over 700 wins since its founding in 1892. BC remains one of only two Catholic universities fielding an FBS team, alongside Notre Dame, and has produced more than 200 NFL players throughout its history.
Head coach Bill O'Brien, appointed in February 2024, led the Eagles to a 7-6 record and a Pinstripe Bowl appearance in his debut season. The programme continues to build under O'Brien's leadership, with the university committing to increased financial investment including maximum revenue-sharing provisions to enhance competitiveness within the ACC. The Eagles compete against conference rivals including Clemson, Florida State, and Syracuse.
Boston College's football tradition runs deep in New England sports culture. Home games at the 44,500-seat Alumni Stadium feature the beloved "For Boston" fight song and the "We Are BC" chant. The maroon and gold colours, along with mascot Baldwin the Eagle, unite generations of fans from the Heights. Season tickets have become increasingly sought after as the programme works to recapture past glory.
The Eagles' most celebrated moment came on 23 November 1984, when quarterback Doug Flutie threw his iconic "Hail Mary" pass to Gerard Phelan to defeat Miami 47-45. Flutie won the Heisman Trophy that year, and a statue commemorating the famous play now stands outside Alumni Stadium. Other notable BC alumni include NFL quarterback Matt Ryan, linebacker Luke Kuechly, and running back AJ Dillon.
