Boston College heads to Atlanta on Saturday looking to even out a season that has moved through its first six games at 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the ACC. The Eagles will face Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium, with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m. ET.
The game will air on ACC Network, with Roxy Bernstein handling play-by-play, Dave Clawson as analyst and Madison Hock reporting from the sideline. On radio, Boston College Sports Network coverage begins 30 minutes before kickoff on WEEI 93.7 FM, with Jon Meterparel on play-by-play, former BC linebacker Pete Cronan alongside him in the booth and Scott Mutryn on the sideline.
One of the biggest reasons Boston College has stayed competitive is what its defense has been doing all season. Through six games, the Eagles have piled up 11 takeaways - eight interceptions and three fumble recoveries - which ranks second in the ACC.
They’ve also limited opponents to 169.3 passing yards per game, good for second in the conference and 18th nationally. The unit has held teams to five yards per play, tied for the fourth-fewest in the ACC.
Several individual defenders have stacked up strong numbers, too. Anthony Palano is tied for fourth in the ACC with 51 tackles and is also in the conference’s top 10 in interceptions with two.
KP Price leads the ACC with 29 solo tackles. Against Pitt on Oct.
17, Carter Davis turned in a career-high 11 tackles and forced a fumble, while Price logged his eighth career game with at least 10 tackles and added his third interception of the season. Charlie Comella picked off his second pass of the 2026 season in the fourth quarter, giving him the most interceptions he has had in a single season in his career.
That Pitt game also gave Boston College plenty to point to on offense. Mason McKenzie threw for a career-best 295 yards on 17 completions in 28 attempts. His 444 rushing yards through six games now rank as the fifth-most by a Boston College quarterback in a single season in school history, moving him past Joe Marzetti, who rushed for 381 yards in 1966.
Landon Wright delivered the biggest receiving day of his career, finishing with 122 yards. He broke loose for a 69-yard touchdown from McKenzie on the opening drive of the third quarter, the longest catch of his career, and later hauled in a 53-yard reception in the fourth quarter.
Javarius Green also reached the end zone for the first time in his career, catching an 11-yard touchdown from McKenzie in the second quarter. Evan Dickens added a one-yard rushing score in the fourth quarter after Wright’s long catch set up the drive, giving Dickens his fourth rushing touchdown of the season and fifth touchdown overall.

Boston College Showed Something Against Pitt That Could Change Everything
Boston Colleges 27-21 win over Pittsburgh offered more than just a needed conference victory. It showed a team that could absorb a punch, stay in it after falling behind by nine and still find a way to finish a game against an opponent that made everything feel difficult. Bill OBrien pointed to the Eagles preparation and execution afterward, and the broader takeaway was hard to miss: this was the kind of performance that can shift how a season feels.
Pittsburghs defense created real problems and kept Boston College from settling into a rhythm early, which made the response all the more important. The Eagles eventually found enough answers to turn the game, using key plays to swing the momentum and ride out the final stretch, but the bigger question now is whether this was a one-off gut check or the start of something more meaningful for a team trying to build on it.

Boston College Faces A Real ACC Momentum Test At Georgia Tech
Boston College heads into a trip to Georgia Tech carrying a little more confidence after picking up its first ACC win of the season against Pitt. For Bill OBrien, the matchup also brings a familiar backdrop, since he knows the Georgia Tech environment well from his time on the staff there, even if the task in front of his team is mostly about carrying over the poise it showed in its last league game.
The test is a real one because Georgia Tech has been trying to steady itself after a loss to Virginia Tech, with Brent Key making adjustments as the Jackets look to get back on track. Alberto Mendoza has also given Georgia Tech a passing threat that can change the feel of a game quickly, which means Boston Colleges momentum will be measured against a road setting that rarely gives much away easily.

Boston College Basketball Just Sent A Message Fans Have Wanted
Boston Colleges basketball push keeps picking up momentum, and the latest sign comes from a familiar regional foe. The Eagles and Providence have lined up a home-and-home series beginning in the 2027-28 season, a setup that will put the Friars at Conte Forum before the matchup shifts back across the state line the following year.
It is the kind of scheduling move fans have wanted to see more often since Boston College left the Big East for the ACC in 2005 and the rivalry went quiet. With Luke Murray now in charge and the program working to strengthen its basketball operation, this series adds another piece to the effort to make the Eagles feel more connected to the local college hoops landscape again.
