Mason McKenzie throws for 2 TDs, Boston College overcomes poor start to beat Pittsburgh 27-21
McKenzie threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns as Boston College overcame a 12-point deficit and Pitt’s 13 penalties for 133 yards.
On Saturday, true freshman Corey Dailey made his first career start for the Pitt Panthers, who fell to Boston College 27-21 in Atlantic Coast Conference action at Chestnut Hill, Mass.
Coaching staff promoted Dailey over fifth-year senior Holden Geriner following Mason Heintschel's season-ending torn ACL sustained at Virginia Tech two weeks ago.
Early momentum favored Pittsburgh, which led 12-0 after Dailey's 75-yard touchdown pass to Cataurus Hicks on the game's first play, before the Eagles rallied for 27 points.
Thirteen penalties for 133 yards hampered the Panthers, while Dailey completed 11-of-25 passes for 193 yards with two interceptions in the loss.
Quarterback Mason McKenzie led the Eagles with a career-high 295 passing yards and two touchdowns, moving Boston College to 3-3 while Pitt drops to 5-2.
