JC French Shines in Bearcats' Win | Boston College Football News

Cincinnati’s season opener exploded with fireworks as quarterback JC French, a transfer from Georgia Southern, shredded Boston College with three rushing touchdowns and a passing score—proving he’s a dual-threat weapon. The Bearcats rolled to a 34-15 win, extending their home opener streak to 25 straight victories. French was efficient through the air (10-of-14, 77 yards) and thrilled by his ground game, joking he likely didn’t have three rushing TDs in high school. Gi’Bran Payne, a Notre Dame transfer, carried the load with 108 rushing yards on 14 carries, while the team amassed 255 rushing yards overall. Coach Satterfield praised Payne’s relentless effort since arriving. Defensively, new coordinator Nate Woody unleashed an aggressive 3-4 scheme that delivered four sacks and two turnovers, flipping momentum in the second half. Boston College, led by new DC Ted Roof, flashed promise in the first half but struggled to contain Cincinnati’s ground attack—they’ll look to rebound this Friday against Rutgers.
