Boston College defeated Georgia Tech 49-27 in Atlanta on Saturday, fueled by a dominant 399-yard rushing performance led by quarterback Mason McKenzie and running back Bo MacCormack III, earning the Eagles their first road win of the season.
Georgia Tech initially built a 10-0 lead on its first two possessions, but Boston College rebounded after halftime by seizing control with touchdowns on their first two third-quarter drives despite early offensive struggles.
Quarterback Mason McKenzie rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns while adding 101 passing yards; running back Bo MacCormack III contributed 155 rushing yards and three touchdowns, averaging 9.0 yards per carry against the Yellow Jackets' defense.
Defensive player Charlie Comella intercepted Georgia Tech quarterback Alberto Mendoza twice, returning one interception 47 yards for a touchdown that extended the lead to 42-20. The victory marked Boston College's second consecutive conference win under head coach Bill O'Brien.
