Eagles running back Treshaun Ward had three catches for 61 yards and a touchdown and added 77 yards on the ground. Quarterback Thomas Castellanos had 106 passing yards, two touchdown passes and another rushing touchdown. He added 73 yards on the ground.

“I’m very proud of these guys,” said Boston College head coach Bill O’Brien. “They were resilient tonight. To come here against a team that really deserved to win this game in their eyes is a great statement for BC. But it’s just one win.”

Castellanos’ touchdown pass to Kye Robichaux put Boston College up 21-6 in the third quarter. Florida State pulled within a touchdown and a 2-point conversion when DJ Uiagalelei threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Kentron Poitier with 5:19 left.

However, Robichaux ran for a 2-yard touchdown, putting the final nail in the Seminoles’ coffin.

Uiagalelei was 21-of-42 with 272 passing yards and a touchdown pass. The Seminoles had just 21 rushing yards in the entire game.

Florida State was one of the contenders to make the expanded College Football Playoff this season, but after two losses to start the season, it’s a big blow to their hopes.
