BC’s Rough Start Against Cincinnati | Boston College Football News

Boston College’s 2026 opener against Cincinnati was a brutal start, as new QB Mason McKenzie struggled under pressure, the offense sputtered with penalties and false starts, and a controversial non-touchdown call left them down 10-0 at halftime. Cincinnati capitalized with a faked punt touchdown and dominated the second half, extending their lead to 17-0. McKenzie briefly exited after a hard hit but returned, yet injuries to key linemen and shaky passing kept BC from mounting a comeback. Despite flashes of promise, the Eagles fell short — and now turn to Rutgers for redemption next week. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
