This Is How We Do It

Yes, that is the title of a Montel Jordan song. And yes, the name “Montel” has something to do with BC’s 52-20 win on Saturday.

Not easing off the pedal against former head coach Tom O’Brien, the Boston College Eagles trounced his NC State team 52-20 on Saturday. Eagles head coach Frank Spaziani worked under O’Brien for all 10 seasons of O’Brien’s stint with Boston College.

BC running back Montel Harris set two school records in the contest at The Heights, rushing for a single-game school record 264 yards and five touchdowns. The last of ten Boston College players to rush for four touchdowns in a game was Darnell Campbell in 1993.

Harris set the yardage record with a 9-yard run early in the final quarter, surpassing the previous mark of 253 set by Phil Bennett in 1972.

NC State entered the game ranked No. 4 in the nation against the run, allowing just 63 yards per game. Harris bested that average by 201 yards.

BC improved to (5-2, 3-2 ACC) with the win, and remained a perfect (5-0) at Alumni Stadium. The Eagles next take on Notre Dame in another installment of The Holy War rivalry — the two are the only Catholic universities that participate in NCAA Division I-A football.
