UConn (4-2) and Boston College (1-5) meet in Week 8 at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill in a matchup between a surging Group of Five underdog and a Power Five program in freefall.
The Huskies enter riding a three-game winning streak and renewed momentum under Bill O’Brien. Quarterback Joe Fagnano has been a revelation: efficient, composed, and turnover-free. He’s thrown for 1,556 yards, 11 touchdowns, and zero interceptions while completing 67.2% of his passes.
Running back Cam Edwards, who’s averaged over 100 rushing yards per game when healthy, is expected to return to a fuller workload.
Altogether, UConn ranks 16th nationally in total offense (470.0 yards per game). Defensively, the Huskies have tightened up after early-season struggles — ranking 23rd in third-down defense, allowing opponents to convert just 30.7% of attempts.
Boston College, meanwhile, is fighting to stop the bleeding after five straight losses. Injuries and defensive breakdowns have left the Eagles vulnerable to explosive plays, while offensive line inconsistency has limited what’s still a talented passing attack.
Quarterback Dylan Lonergan has thrown for 1,394 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions with a 67.0% completion rate, leading a passing game that ranks 23rd nationally in yardage.
Historically, the series has been one-sided: Boston College leads 13–1–2, and UConn has never won in Chestnut Hill.
Prediction
The Huskies look sharper, better coached, and healthier. Expect a competitive first half, but UConn’s momentum and steadier attack pull away late.
Projected Score: UConn 27, Boston College 20
