Boston College Vs. Maryland Final: Boston College Wins 28-17, Rolandan Finch Rushes for 243

The Boston College Eagles finally earned their first FBS victory of the season by defeating the Maryland Terrapins by a final score 28-17 in College Park, Maryland. The Eagles record after today's victory is 2-6 and 1-4 in the ACC. 

A pretty game this was not. The two teams combined for six turnovers – four for Boston College and two for Maryland. The three quarterbacks who played in this game completed a combined 21-63 for 211 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. 

BC's quarterback Chase Rettig only completed five passes for 32 yards. Luckily the Eagles rushing attack dominated, to a tune of 372 yards and four touchdowns. Sophomore running back Rolandan Finch had not carried the ball more than 19 times all season, and only had 87 total rushes during his career at Boston College. Today he carried 39 times for 243 yards and two touchdowns. Interestingly, none of Finch's carries went for more than 19 yards – he just chipped away at the Terrapin defense all game.

Boston College will host the Florida State Seminoles next Thursday, November 3, which will be televised on ESPN and ESPN3.

Event: Boston College Eagles vs. Maryland Terrapins - NCAA Football, Week 9.

Date/Time: Saturday, October 29, 2011 - 3:00 p.m. EDT.

Location: Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium, College Park, Maryland.

Broadcast Info: Saturday's game between Boston College and Maryland will be broadcast live online on ESPN3, and on television at RSN, with Rich Waltz on the play-by-play, Keith Jones handling the analysis and Jenn Hildreth sideline reporting.

The game can also be heard on the WEEI Sports Radio Network, with Jon Meterparel providing play-by-play, Pete Cronan providing analysis and former BC quarterback Brian St. Pierre on the sidelines. The game can be heard on 680 AM WRKO.  The broadcast can also be heard live on SIRIUS Satellite Radio (channel 93) and XM Satellite Radio (channel 192).  

Series History: Boston College leads the all-time series against UMass, 5-3. The Eagles have won four of the six ACC meetings. BC fell to Maryland 24-21 in the last meeting on Oct. 23, 2010.

Last Week: Boston College watched a 7-6 halftime lead evaporate against the Virginia Tech Hokies, who cruised in the second half for a 30-14 win. Chase Rettig threw for 181 yards and one touchdown, and Rolandan Finch carried the ball 18 times for 92 yards in the loss. 

Maryland was pounded by Florida State, 41-16, despite 272 passing yards combined between C.J. Brown and Danny O'Brien.

Storyline: Boston College is still looking for its elusive first win against an FBS team. The Eagles lone win came against UMass, an FCS program. 

Maryland is almost as desperate for a win as Boston College. The Terrapins fell to 2-5 last week and have now last three straight after beating Towson. 

Players To Watch: Terrapins running back Davin Meggett recorded two 100-yard games in Maryland's first four games, but was held to 113 yards combined in losses to Clemson and Florida St. Against a Boston College defense not especially stout against the run, Meggett could get back on track.

Luke Kuechly has proven himself as one of the country's best linebackers, recording double-digit tackles in 29 straight games, the longest streak in the nation. He is a finalist for the 2011 Butkus Award, given to the nation's top linebacker, after finishing as the Butkus runner-up last season.

Prediction: This could be Boston College's best chance to find an FBS win. But beating an ACC opponent on the road will prove difficult. Final Score: Maryland 31, BC 20.
