Boston College 17, UMass 0
CHESTNUT HILL -- Boston College dominated play in the first half, taking control in time of possession and in the battle for field position. BC had 17 first downs in the first half, UMass has just five. The Minutemen were unable to do much offensively, with just 66 yards on offense.
Eagles quarterback Matt Ryan was solid, throwing for 139 yards and a touchdown on 14-of-21 passing. UMass QB Liam Coen is 8-of-14 for 43 yards.
Aiding in the struggles for Don Brown's Minutemen was all of the penalties. UMass was flagged nine times for 68 yards. Neither time has had much success on the ground, with BC rushing for 57 yards (20 rushes) and UMass for 23 yards on 13 attempts.
BC first got on the board in the middle of the first quarter, connecting on a 37-yard field goal. It added a touchdown late in the period, on a 1-yard run by tailback Andre Callender. Its second touchdown -- and final score -- of the half came in the second quarter on a 9-yard pass to sophomore wideout Justin Jarvis. It was his first-career touchdown reception.
