Boston College dropped an overtime thriller to Michigan State, despite the heroic play of quarterback Dylan Lonergan. In a knock-down, drag-out college football game that required double overtime to be decided, the home team Michigan State Spartans managed to escape with a 42-40 triumph.
This win was payback for last year’s loss to the Eagles in Chestnut Hill. Quarterbacks Aidan Chiles and Dylan Lonergan took center stage in this contest with their stellar play. Lonergan was brilliant in defeat. He threw for a career-high 390 yards and four touchdowns.
