Boston College erased an early 12-0 deficit to beat Pittsburgh 27-21, earning its first ACC win of the season and ending a two-game losing streak. The Panthers opened with a 75-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Corey Dailey, who was making his first career start, and added a safety before the Eagles rallied. BC quarterback Mason McKenzie threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns, including a 69-yard scoring connection with Landon Wright, who finished with 122 receiving yards. Pittsburgh threatened late, but after an interception by Raion Strader gave the Panthers a chance, Charlie Comella picked off Dailey to seal the Eagles’ win.
