Virginia had a shot at an upset victory over Boston College, but Marc Verica’s hail mary was thrown just short of the end-zone as time expired.
BC’s Montrel Harris was one yard ahead of his season average as he finished with 1 TD and 114 yards on 24 carries.
Marc Verica threw for 284 yards on 31/49 passing with 1 critical interception in the loss. Keith Payne did not play because of a lower extremity injury. In Payne’s absence, tailback Perry Jones rushed for 67 yards on 12 carries with 1 TD. Virginia had no touchdown tosses on the afternoon.
Virginia’s kicker Robert Randolph missed a late 4th quarter field goal to bring the Hoos within one point. If Randolph had made the field goal, the last drive would have been winnable with a field goal instead of the chuck to the end-zone.
